Objective In mechanically ventilated patients inspiratory increase in pleural pressure during
lung inflation may produce complete or partial collapse of the superior vena cava …

Objective: To investigate whether the collapsibility index of the inferior vena cava recorded
during a deep standardized inspiration predicts fluid responsiveness in nonintubated …

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 …

Objective To evaluate the extent to which respiratory changes in inferior vena cava (IVC)
diameter can be used to predict fluid responsiveness. Design Prospective clinical study …

There are two venae cavae in humans. The superior vena cava (SVC) comprises the
connection of the left and right brachiocephalic veins and ends on the top of the right atrium …

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 …

Background: Both occult hypoperfusion and volume overload are associated with increased
morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. Accurately predicting fluid responsiveness …

Purpose We sought to determine the diagnostic ability of the end-expiratory inferior vena
cava diameter (IVC EE) to predict fluid responsiveness (FR) and the potential confounding …

Early optimization of fluid status is of central importance in the treatment of critically ill
patients. This study aims to investigate whether inferior vena cava (IVC) diameters correlate …

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 …
