Department of Medicine, 12321Alert Medical School of Brown University, Providence, RI, USA.
Objectives: Inferior vena cava collapsibility (cIVC) measured by point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has been proposed as a noninvasive means of assessing fluid responsiveness. We aimed to prospectively evaluate the performance of a 25% cIVC cutoff value to detect fluid responsiveness among spontaneously breathing intensive care unit (ICU) patients when assessed with POCUS by novice versus expert physician sonologists.
Methods: Prospective observational study of spontaneously breathing ICU patients.
