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 …

Correlation of IVC Diameter and Collapsibility Index With Central Venous Pressure in the
Assessment of Intravascular Volume in C Page 1 Received 02/02/2017 Review began 02/06/2017 …

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 …

Rapid evaluation of intravascular volume status is vital; either excessive or limited fluid
administration may result in adverse patient outcomes. In this narrative review, critical …

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

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: subclinical pulmonary and peripheral congestion is an emerging concept in
heart failure, correlated with a worse prognosis. Very few studies have evaluated its …

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

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 …
