Objectives: Inferior vena cava ultrasound has been used as a predictor of fluid
responsiveness in children. Two ultrasonographic modes can be used to measure the …

Objectives The objective of this study was to compare the ultrasound‐measured inferior
vena cava distensibility index (IVCdi), inferior vena cava distensibility variability (IVCdv), and …

Objectives The inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVCCI) has been used to assess the
respiratory variation of the inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and hence intravascular …

Purpose To determine normative data for the inferior vena cava (VCI) diameter in euvolemic
children and its correlation with different somatic parameters in a pediatric population at one …

Objectives: To evaluate the ability to predict central venous pressure by ultrasound
measured inferior vena cava and aortic diameters in a PICU population and to assess …

Objectives The ability to plot the inferior vena cava (IVC) size on a normal curve for pediatric
patients may prove beneficial. First, in patients with normal cardiac anatomy who present in …

Objectives To evaluate normative sonographic measurements of the inferior vena cava (IVC)
diameter in healthy pediatric patients. Methods We performed a prospective observational …

Objectives Previous studies demonstrated that the collapsibility index (percent decrease in
inferior vena cava [IVC] diameter with inspiration) of 50% or greater and an IVC/aorta ratio of …

Objective: Although approximately 9% of patients presenting to a pediatric emergency
department (ED) are dehydrated, there is no reliable method to measure objectively the …

Background Bedside ultrasound has emerged as a rapid, noninvasive tool for assessment
and monitoring of fluid status in children. The inferior vena cava (IVC) varies in size with …
