As you mentioned the research around raising legs is inconclusive. However, I have absolutely used and seen this work and had considerably good outcomes from doing this in a pre hospital environment. Though it is incredibly temporary.
@@Simontookie24 Reliably is a very hard thing to determine. As it stands, the evidence is against leg raise. Besides, absence of evidence to the contrary is not evidence for. I also can't just come up with a technique and say "Well there is no evidence AGAINST using it, therefore we should use it" In addition to that we have other ways of dealing with hypotension and hypovolemia so there is absolutely no need to do leg raise. The risks far outweigh the benefits

This is:
1. Anecdotal
2. Confirmation bias
Research > anecdotes
@@Soppaisfree yeah, but in this case the evidence doesn't really suggest either way reliably.
