Inferior vena cava diameter variation compared with pulse pressure variation as predictors of fluid responsiveness in patients with sepsis

P Theerawit, T Morasert, Y Sutherasan - Journal of Critical Care, 2016 - Elsevier
Background Currently, physicians employ pulse pressure variation (PPV) as a gold standard
for predicting fluid responsiveness. However, employing ultrasonography in intensive care
units is increasing, including using the ultrasonography for assessment of fluid
responsiveness. Data comparing the performance of both methods are still lacking. This is
the reason for the present study. Materials and methods We conducted a prospective
observational study in patients with sepsis requiring fluid challenge. The PPV, inferior vena …
