Respiratory Variation of Superior Vena Cava in Transthoracic View as a Fluid Responsiveness Predictor

NCT05211765 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Fluid evaluation is relevant in critical care. Cardiac ultrasound is the first line of evaluation in hemodynamic characterization of patients in shock, to tailor therapy.

Fluid responsiveness predictors allow to better decide when to administer fluids, and transesophagic view of superior vena cava is an effective one. Recently a transthoracic view of the superior vena cava has been described.

The investigators aim to evaluate if the variations of superior vena cava can predict fluid responsiveness in critically il, ventilated patients.

Hypothesis: Respiratory variations of superior vena cava diameter, evaluated with transthoracic ultrasound, can predict fluid responsiveness

Conditions

  • Shock

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Superior vena cava transthoracic evaluation

The superior vena cava will be observed with a cardiac ultrasound machine, its diameter in different respiratory phases evaluated and compared with fluid response.
