Methods: A prospective observational study was performed in the intensive care unit
between December 2017 and March 2018. Mechanically ventilated patients were enrolled …

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 …

Aims: This study aims to assess and compare the efficacy of superior vena cava (SVC) and
inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter changes in response to passive leg raise (PLR) in …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

Objectives: To evaluate the correlation between stroke volume variation (SVV) and inferior
vena cava distensibility index (dIVC) as a marker for fluid responsiveness in mechanically …

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 …

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 …
