Carotid Doppler Measurement in response to passive leg raise
The investigators will measure Carotid Flow time in the semi-recumbent position, then lay the patient flat and do a passive leg raise. The investigators will then meausre Carotid Flow Time at 1 minute, 2 minutes, and 3 minutes. Patients who have 10 % increase in stroke volume on the Flotrac / Vigileo monitor will be considered fluid responders. The investigators will try to identify an optimum % increase of Carotid Flow Time that can predict fluid responsiveness.
