  Purpose

To evaluate the use of sonographic inferior caval vein assessment in mechanically ventilated septic patients.

Volume assessment in mechanically ventilated patients with inflammation is of major importance to guide fluid therapy. The researchers investigated whether measurement of caval vein diameter correlates with invasively assessed volume-based hemodynamic parameters.


Condition Intervention Phase
Severe Sepsis
Septic Shock
 Procedure: sonographic measurement of inferior caval vein diameter
