Dynamic changes in arterial waveform derived variables and fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients: A systematic review of the literature* (2009, methodology): “The respiratory variation in vena caval diameter (63, 64) and SV (65) as measured by echocardiography have been used to predict fluid responsiveness; however, they do not perform as well as PPV/SVV and are not conducive to minute-to-minute monitoring.”
Hemodynamic parameters to guide fluid therapy (2011, background): “Barbier and colleagues and Feissel and coworkers demonstrated that the distensibility index of the inferior vena cava, which reflects the increase in the inferior vena cava diameter on inspiration (mechanical ventilation), was able to predict fluid responsiveness [36,37].”
Changes in Arterial Pressure during Mechanical Ventilation (2005, background): “Accordingly, the respiratory variations in vena cava diameter produced by mechanical ventilation are reduced by volume loading.(30,35,52) Second, the inspiratory increase in right atrial pressure (the back-pressure to venous return) may be greater in hypovolemic conditions because of the higher tran”
