Background: In the intensive care unit, making decisions about fluid treatment is one of the most difficult tasks that physicians encounter on an everyday basis. Nearly all physicians concur that hypovolemia and volume overload both raise morbidity and mortality. Increasing preload, or stressed venous volume is the therapeutic goal of fluid administration, which leads to a higher stroke volume and cardiac output. Objective: The purpose of this research was to see if there was a relationship between measurements of central venous pressure (CVP) and ultrasound measurements of the inferior vena cava collapsibility index(IVC CI), in the assessment of intravascular volume …
