For maximum reliability, a passive leg raise test should be performed following some rules. One possible variation of the test starts from a semi-recumbent position. The second step is to raise the legs, maintaining the angle between them using the automatic motion of the bed to avoid artefacts. The third step returns the patient to the semi-recumbent position to ensure that the patient recovers the previous haemodynamic parameters.
