Introduction Early assessment of volume status is paramount in critically ill patients. Central
venous pressure (CVP) measurement and ultrasound assessment of the inferior vena cava …

Study Objectives: The accurate assessment of intravascular volume status is essential in the
resuscitation of critically ill patients (ie congestive heart failure, acute myocardial infarction …

Introduction Determination of intravascular volume status in patients admitted to the
emergency centre is critical. Physical signs of hypovolaemic, distributive, cardiogenic, and …

Background Bedside inferior vena cava (IVC) ultrasound has been proposed as a non-
invasive measure of volume status. We compared ultrasound measurements of the caval …

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

Objectives This study aims to determine the site of and the best sonographic method for
measurement of inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter in volume status monitoring. Methods …

Background Until now, no valid alternative exists for predicting central venous pressure
(CVP) with lower invasiveness than central venous catheter. Purpose To explore inferior …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Hypovolemic shock is an important cause of death in the
emergency department (ED). We sought to conduct a meta-analysis to quantify existing …

Background: decisions regarding fluid therapy, whether in the operating theatre, intensive
care unit, emergency department, are among the most challenging and important tasks that …

Objective: To evaluate the correlation between central venous pressure (CVP) and inferior
vena cava (IVC) diameters measured by ultrasonography (Ultrasound) in critically ill …
