Objectives The objective of this study was to compare the ultrasound‐measured inferior
vena cava distensibility index (IVCdi), inferior vena cava distensibility variability (IVCdv), and …

Background: The assessment of intravascular volume and fluid responsiveness is
challenging in the management of critically ill patients. Diagnostic methods of hemodynamic …

Especially in recent years, the use of point-of-care ultrasound by non-radiologist clinicians
has become widespread. Point-of-care ultrasound provides rapid responses to the problems …

Objectives: Inferior vena cava ultrasound has been used as a predictor of fluid
responsiveness in children. Two ultrasonographic modes can be used to measure the …

Objectives: To evaluate the ability to predict central venous pressure by ultrasound
measured inferior vena cava and aortic diameters in a PICU population and to assess …

Objectives The Venous Excess Ultrasound (VExUS) score has been described as a useful
tool to estimate the degree of venous congestion in adult patients. The present study aimed …

Background: decisions regarding fluid therapy, whether in the operating theatre, intensive
care unit, emergency department, are among the most challenging and important tasks that …

Purpose To determine normative data for the inferior vena cava (VCI) diameter in euvolemic
children and its correlation with different somatic parameters in a pediatric population at one …

Objective: Although approximately 9% of patients presenting to a pediatric emergency
department (ED) are dehydrated, there is no reliable method to measure objectively the …

Objectives Previous studies demonstrated that the collapsibility index (percent decrease in
inferior vena cava [IVC] diameter with inspiration) of 50% or greater and an IVC/aorta ratio of …
