Purpose: Respiratory variation in inferior vena cava (ΔIVC) has been extensively studied in
predicting fluid responsiveness, but the results are conflicting. We performed a systemic …

BACKGROUND: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies
investigating the diagnostic accuracy of respiratory variation in inferior vena cava diameter …

Respiratory variation in the inferior vena cava (ΔIVC) has been extensively studied with
respect to its value in predicting fluid responsiveness, but the results are conflicting. This …

Objectives: To systematically review the diagnostic utility of the respiratory variation of the
inferior vena cava diameter measured using ultrasonography for predicting fluid …

BACKGROUND The accuracy of respiratory variation of the inferior vena cava (rvIVC) in
predicting fluid responsiveness, particularly in spontaneously breathing patients is unclear …

Background: The aim of fluid resuscitation is to increase stroke volume, yet this effect is
observed in only 50% of patients. Prediction of fluid responsiveness may allow fluid …

Objective To synthesize the evidence about diagnostic accuracy of inferior vena cava
collapsibility (IVCc) in prediction of fluid responsiveness among spontaneously breathing …

Objective: Fluid responsiveness is the ability to increase the cardiac output in response to a
fluid challenge. Only about 50% of patients receiving fluid resuscitation for acute circulatory …

Objective To investigate whether the respiratory variation in inferior vena cava diameter (ΔD
IVC) could be related to fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients. Design …

We thank Ono for his comment on our recent paper published in Intensive Care Medicine
where we reported how to use echocardiography to predict fluid responsiveness (FR) and …
