Purpose: Body fluid status of patients in an emergency room environment is a very important
parameter during clinical evaluation. In this study, we wanted to know the relationship …

BACKGROUND: Bedside ultrasound has been suggested as a non-invasive modality to
estimate central venous pressure (CVP). OBJECTIVE: Evaluate a simple bedside ultrasound …

BACKGROUND: Early goal‐directed therapy for severe sepsis or septic shock improves
outcomes but requires placement of a central venous catheter to measure central venous …

Early optimization of fluid status is of central importance in the treatment of critically ill
patients. This study aims to investigate whether inferior vena cava (IVC) diameters correlate …

Purpose We aimed to study the concordance between the M-mode and the automatic
measurement systems of the IVC. Methods We recruited five healthy volunteers. Two expert …

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the ultrasonographic
variation of the diameter of the inferior vena cava (IVC), internal jugular vein (IJV) …

I ntroduction Ultrasound assessment of the inferior vena cava (IVC) has gained favour in
aiding fluid management decisions for controlled, mechanically ventilated patients as well …

Purpose: To prospectively evaluate the accuracy of noninvasive central venous pressure
(CVP) assessment by compression ultrasound of a forearm vein (CUS), inferior vena cava …

Ultrasound (US) is considered the first step in evaluation of patients with shock; respiratory
variation of the inferior vena cava (inferior vena cava collapsibility [IVCc]) is an important …

Background: Both hypovolemia and volume over load increase the morbidity and mortality of
patients. So evaluation of intravascular volume status is the first important step in patients …
