Use of Ultrasonography to Determine Fluid-responsiveness for Shock in a Population of Intensive Care Unit Patients (NCT01680770)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The objective of our study is to determine the correlation of transthoracic ultrasonographic indices of fluid responsiveness to changes in direct measures of cardiac output and to compare them to other established predictors of fluid responsiveness such as central venous pressure variation, systolic arterial pressure variation and pulse pressure variation in a broad population of patients. Hypothesis: There will be a significant difference in the inferior vena cava respiratory variation and subclavian vein respiratory variation between responders and non-responders to intravenous fluid challenge in a broad population of patients with shock.
