Respiratory Variation in IVC Diameter: Sensitivity and Specificity
Introduction:
None written. Excerpt from the entry in Hypovolemia:
calculate dIVC = (IVCmax-IVCmin)/IVCmin -> If dIVC >= 18%, will patient respond to 7ml/kg fluid challenge (measured by increase in CI)
calculate dIVC = (IVCmax-IVCmin)/IVCmin -> If dIVC >= 18%, will patient respond to 7ml/kg fluid challenge (measured by increase in CI)
in ventilated septic patients
Associated Diagnoses:
90% sensitive, 90% specific
