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 …

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 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 …

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

BackgroundPatients may have signs of hypovolemia, but fluid administration is not always
beneficial. We are in need of bedside devices and techniques, which can predict fluid …

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 …

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

We thank Ono for his comment on our recent paper published in Intensive Care Medicine
where we reported how to use echocardiography to predict fluid responsiveness (FR) and …

Objective To assess validity of respiratory variation of inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter to
predict fluid responsiveness and guide fluid therapy in mechanically ventilated patients …

Purpose The objective of our study was to assess the reliability of the distensibility index of
the inferior vena cava (dIVC) as a predictor of fluid responsiveness in postoperative …
