Recent meta-analyses failed to support the reliability of ultrasound assessment of the inferior vena cava (IVC) to predict fluid responsiveness. However, the techniques utilized were heterogeneous. We hypothesized that the variability of the elliptic section and caliber of the IVC along its course may influence ultrasound evaluation. Therefore, we investigated IVC size and shape at four levels, before and after a fluid challenge.

Abstract
Recent meta-analyses failed to support the reliability of ultrasound assessment of the inferior vena cava (IVC) to predict fluid responsiveness. However, the techniques utilized were heterogeneous. We hypothesized that the variability of the elliptic section and caliber of the IVC along its course may influence ultrasound evaluation. Therefore, we investigated IVC size and shape at four levels, before and after a fluid challenge.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
