Background Critically low or high central venous pressure (CVP) values, together with
systemic hypotension, can indicate hypovolemia or acute heart failure. However, measuring …

Background Bedside ultrasound helps to estimate volume status in critically ill patients and
has traditionally relied on diameter, respiratory variation, and collapsibility of the inferior …

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 …

Background: In the intensive care unit, making decisions about fluid treatment is one of the
most difficult tasks that physicians encounter on an everyday basis. Nearly all physicians …

BACKGROUND In search of a standardized noninvasive assessment of intravascular
volume status, we prospectively compared the sonographic inferior vena cava collapsibility …

Fluid therapy is an essential component part management of critically ill patients. Proper
estimation of the amount of needed fluids is of great importance due to the well-established …
