Focused cardiac ultrasound (FCU) has emerged in recent years and has created new
possibilities in the clinical assessment of patients both in and out of hospital. The increasing …

Purpose The primary aim was to investigate if treatment guided by serial ultrasound of the
inferior vena cava-collapsibility index (IVC-CI) and B-lines on lung ultrasound (LUS) could …

Objective The objective of our study is to assess the correlation between inferior vena cava
(IVC) diameters, central venous pressure (CVP) and the IVC collapsibility index for …

Background: Heart failure (HF) is an important healthcare problem. Knowing volume status
in outpatients with chronic HF to adjust treatment and to avoid decompensations is a …

Background Ultrasound (US) assessment of intravascular volume may improve volume
management of dialysis patients. We investigated the relationship of intravascular volume …

Background Post-spinal anesthesia hypotension is of common occurrence, and it hampers
tissue perfusion. Several preoperative factors determine patient susceptibility to …

Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a common reason for admission to the
hospital, and readmission is frequent. Multiple factors contribute to rehospitalizations, but …

The ultrasonographic evaluation of inferior vena cava (IVC) parameters, particularly the
collapsibility index (CI), has been widely used in the assessment of the fluid responsiveness …

Background Inferior vena cava (IVC) ultrasonography has been used for the diagnosis and
prognosis of acute heart failure (HF). Its usefulness in chronic HF is less known. Hypothesis …

Objectives The utility of bedside inferior vena cava (IVC) ultrasound (US) in the diagnosis of
heart failure (HF) is unclear. The aim of this study was to determine whether IVC parameters …
