Summary
Evaluation and management of intravascular volume are a central challenge for the critical ill patients. Hypotensive patients are commonly resuscitated with intravenous crystalloid fluid as a recommendation for treatment of many shock states.
There has been a growing interest in the implementation of lung ultrasound in critical care management in the last decade as it is easy, bedside, non-expensive, non invasive and radiation free.
The object of the current study is to assess the ability of lung and inferior vena cava sonography versus pulse pressure variation to predict fluid responsiveness in patients with circulatory failure on mechanical ventilation.
