COVID-19 has caused great devastation in the past year. Multi-organ point-of-care
ultrasound (PoCUS) including lung ultrasound (LUS) and focused cardiac ultrasound …

The importance of functional right ventricular failure and resultant splanchnic venous
congestion has long been under-appreciated and is difficult to assess by traditional physical …

Background Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is nowadays an essential tool in critical care.
Its role seems more important in neonates and children where other monitoring techniques …

Objective: Fluid responsiveness is the ability to increase the cardiac output in response to a
fluid challenge. Only about 50% of patients receiving fluid resuscitation for acute circulatory …

The management of complex fluid and electrolyte disorders is central to the practice of
nephrologists. The sensitivity of physical examination alone to determine fluid status is …

Background: The aim of fluid resuscitation is to increase stroke volume, yet this effect is
observed in only 50% of patients. Prediction of fluid responsiveness may allow fluid …

Organ dysfunction in the setting of heart failure is mainly determined by backward
transmission of increased right atrial pressure. Although traditional point-of-care ultrasound …

The correct determination of volume status is a fundamental component of clinical
evaluation as both hypovolaemia (with hypoperfusion) and hypervolaemia (with fluid …

Background Fluid overload and venous congestion are associated with morbi-mortality in
the ICU (intensive care unit). Administration of diuretics to correct the fluid balance is …

Accurate assessment of relative intravascular volume is critical to guide volume
management of patients with acute or chronic kidney disorders, particularly those with …
