Abstract:Background: In critically ill patients, the fluid resuscitation is crucial and is the first step in treatment protocol. Invasive CVP measurement was used to guide fluid resuscitation. However, it is time consuming and invasive maneuver. Ultrasound measurement of inferior vena cave and common carotid arteries are suggest to predict the fluid response as well as CVP or even better. The current work designed to compare inferior vena cava diameter and common carotid artery diameter with central venous pressure for… Show more
