Bedside assessment of intravascular volume status plays an important role in the
management of critically ill patients, guiding fluid replacement therapy and the use of …

Background: The assessment of intravascular volume and fluid responsiveness is
challenging in the management of critically ill patients. Diagnostic methods of hemodynamic …

The correct determination of volume status is a fundamental component of clinical
evaluation as both hypovolaemia (with hypoperfusion) and hypervolaemia (with fluid …

Assessment of the size of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and its change in diameter in
response to respiration have been investigated as a tool to screen for severe hypovolaemia …

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 …

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 …

Objectives To assess the reliability of the distensibility of inferior vena cava (dIVC),
measured by ultrasound, as an indicator of fluid responsiveness in ventilated patients …

Objective The objective of our study is to assess the correlation between inferior vena cava
(IVC) diameters, central venous pressure (CVP) and the IVC collapsibility index for …

Accurate assessment of relative intravascular volume is critical to guide volume
management of patients with acute or chronic kidney disorders, particularly those with …

Purpose Assessment of fluid-responsiveness is a key aspect of daily management in
critically ill patients. Non-invasive evaluation of the variation of inferior vena cava (IVC) …
