Fluid Resuscitation Monitoring Non-invasively Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Relation Between Common Carotid Artery Diameter and Central Venous Pressure for Assessment of Intravascular Fluid Status After Major Surgeries: An Observational Study
Recently, bedside ultrasound has become an important tool for the simple and non-invasive
hemodynamic assessment of critically ill patients. This applies not only to echocardiography
but also to ultrasound of large extra-thoracic veins. The sonography can provide real time
assessment of the vascular system and hemodynamic status at the bedside.
To our knowledge, there is one report about the association between sonographically assessed
carotid artery diameter and intravascular volume, which raised recommendation for further
studies including the interplay between carotid geometry and intravascular fluid status.
Aim of the study:
The aim of this work is to evaluate the accuracy of noninvasive techniques for assessment of
intravascular volume status by Sonographic assessment of both the common carotid artery
diameter (CCA) and the central venous pressure (CVP) in response to a bolus of crystalloid
solution infusion and to find the correlation between CCA diameter and CVP as the primary
outcome in adults patients after major surgeries who needs close assessment and maintenance
of the intravascular volume status.
