Eleganza 2 is able to help both the patient and carer to conduct an in-bed Passive Leg Raise Test.

A passive leg raise test is a non-invasive test that assesses fluid responsiveness. The procedure is performed in accordance with sepsis guidelines.

The bed usually starts in the vascular position when the carers or nurses conduct the passive leg raise test.
