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: 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 …

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 …

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the ultrasonographic
variation of the diameter of the inferior vena cava (IVC), internal jugular vein (IJV) …

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

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 …

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) …

Academic Emergency Medicine Abstract Objectives: The objective was to determine …

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 …

Background Central venous pressure (CVP) and right atrial pressure (RAP) are important
parameters in the complete hemodynamic assessment of a patient. Sonographic …
