Advances in the use of ultrasonography can enhance our ability to better characterize acute
kidney injury (AKI). AKI is a clinical syndrome characterized by a rapid decrease in kidney …

Accurate volume status assessments allow physicians to rapidly implement therapeutic
measures in acutely unwell patients. However, existing bedside diagnostic tools are often …

We aimed to compare internal jugular vein and inferior vena cava ultrasonography as
predictors of central venous pressure in cirrhotic patients. We performed ultrasound …

Background: Post spinal anesthesia hypotension (PSAH) is frequently encountered in
anesthetic practice, especially during cesarean section. Ultrasound is a safe and easy …

The physical exam is changing. Many have argued that the physical exam of the 21st
century should include point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). POCUS is being taught in …

OBJECTIVE: To correlate ultrasound-guided estimation of Internal Jugular Vein
Collapsibility Index (IJV-CI) with inferior vena cava CI (IVC-CI) and invasively monitored …

Background Currently, the accepted effective method for assessing blood volume status,
such as measuring central venous pressure (CVP) and mean pulmonary artery pressure …

Abstract Purpose of Review With advances in technology and availability of handheld
ultrasound probes, studies are focusing on the perioperative care of patients, but a limited …

Objective: To determine the role of internal jugular vein (IJV) ultrasonography to predict
postspinal hypotension in patients undergoing elective surgery. Study Design: A prospective …

Background Role of point of care ultrasound in management of acute kidney injury (AKI) is
