Filter by:Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a tool for assessing volume status through ultrasonography. Using a point of care ultrasound device, the physician can perform an ultrasound of the vena cava at the bedside. Previous research has demonstrated a correlation between right atrial pressure and the vena cava's diameter. Nonetheless, the majority of research has been conducted in critically ill populations to predict fluid responsiveness in patients with more complex hemodynamics. There is limited data available on the value of IVC ultrasound in the sub-acute setting on the regular ward for clinical decision-making regarding whether a patient is hypovolemic or hypervolemic. This study's objective is to assess the diagnostic utility of point-of-care ultrasonography of the IVC, by using a standardized methodology, performed by qualified ward physicians in a conventional nursing ward.
In this study, we investigated the clinical variability in paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity in patients with acute brain injury and examined the prognostic value of the Paroxysmal Sympathetic Hyperactivity Assessment Measure (PSH-AM) in relation to Doppler ultrasound assessment of volume status, right heart function, and pulmonary edema. Thirty patients with ABI were prospectively enrolled. A correlation analysis between the PSH-AM score and related clinical indicators was performed using Pearson's or Spearman's correlation coefficient. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to assess the prediction of the 6-month Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended score for neurorehabilitation prognosis.
Internal jugular vein cannulation can be performed with the blind technique under ultrasound (USG) guidance or using classical marker points. It has been shown that USG-guided interventions reduce the complication rate compared to the method performed with the blind technique (4%/13.5%). In addition, the initial entry success rate in the USG supported group is 65%. , this rate remained at 45% with the blind technique. Although Pleth variability index monitoring is a noninvasive method, it is a technique that consistently predicts fluid sensitivity in patients under mechanical ventilation. The aim of study is before applying USG guided catheterization; We think that by revealing the factors of the patient that are effective on the number of interventions, necessary measures can be taken for the success of catheterization as a result.
The investigators developed a prospective, randomized, controlled trial to compare strict volume control using bioimpedance (using the BCM - Body Composition Monitor device) versus traditional clinical volume control in hemodialysis patients and the impact on mortality, hydration status, blood pressure values and arterial stiffness.
Septic shock and multi-organ failure are among the most frequent causes of death in the ICU. Patients with septic shock require early implementation of hemodynamic therapy to keep the duration of shock state and with it microcirculatory disturbances as short as possible. In the septic shock guidelines by the american association SCCM the diagnosis of volume status is based on filling pressures, like CVP. Some studies show, that the CVP depends not only on the intravascular volume, but also on the right ventricular compliance, pulmonary vascular resistance as well as intrathoracic pressure. The aim of the Study is to evaluate if the duration of septic shock can be reduced through algorithm driven volume therapy orientated to thermodilution based volume parameters (GEDI and ELWI)
