Fluid resuscitation is the initial therapy for septic shock worldwide. Prediction of fluid
responsiveness is essential for optimizing fluid administration. Only few pediatric studies …

Background: Essential step in the management of septic shock is prompt recognition at an
early stage and prediction of fluid responsiveness. Existing methods of assessing septic …

Background: Fluids are an integral line of management of septic shock as circulatory
instability and myocardial dysfunction are the major causes of death in septic shock. Several …

Objectives This study aimed to investigate the predictive utility of respiratory variations of
inferior vena cava diameters on fluid responsiveness in children with septic shock. Design A …

Objectives To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of inferior vena cava (IVC) distensibility
index (∆ IVC) and respiratory variation in peak aortic blood flow velocity (∆ Vpeak) to predict …

Methods: The objective was to determine the accuracy and a cutoff value of IVC/Ao in
predicting fluid responsiveness. A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the …

Background: Ultrasound guided fluid assessment in management of septic shock has come
up as an adjunct to the current gold standard Central Venous Pressure monitoring. This …

Objective The intent of fluid bolus therapy (FBT) is to increase cardiac output and tissue
perfusion, yet only 50% of septic children are fluid responsive. We evaluated respiratory …

Background Fluid bolus administration is widely recommended as part of the initial treatment
of paediatric sepsis, though the physiological benefits and harms are unclear. The primary …

Children with septic shock often have fluid deficit, decreased vascular tone, and myocardial
dysfunction [1]. Therefore, fluid resuscitation and vasoactive agents are important …
