Abstract

INTRODUCTION: To investigate whether respiratory variation of inferior vena cava diameter (cIVC) predict fluid responsiveness in spontaneously breathing patients with acute circulatory failure (ACF). METHODS: Forty patients with ACF and spontaneous breathing were included. Response to fluid challeng...
