In patients with acute circulatory failure, the decision to give fluids or not should not be taken
lightly. The risk of overzealous fluid administration has been clearly established. Moreover …

A compartment syndrome is defined as an increase in the compartmental pressure to such
an extent that the viability of the tissues and organs within the compartment are threatened …

Rationale: Assessment of fluid responsiveness relies on dynamic echocardiographic
parameters that have not yet been compared in large cohorts. Objectives: To determine the …

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the epidemiology and outcomes of
intra-abdominal hypertension in a heterogeneous intensive care unit population. Design …

Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) are
increasingly recognized as potential complications in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. ACS …

Objectives: The passive leg-raising maneuver is a reversible fluid-loading procedure used to
predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients. The aim of the present …

Background Respiratory variation in pulse pressure (ΔPP) is commonly used to predict the
fluid responsiveness of critically ill patients. However, some researchers have demonstrated …

Purpose We sought to determine the diagnostic ability of the end-expiratory inferior vena
cava diameter (IVC EE) to predict fluid responsiveness (FR) and the potential confounding …

Introduction Pulse pressure variation (PPV) has been shown to predict fluid responsiveness
in ventilated intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The present study was aimed at assessing …

Objectives In septic patients, reliable non-invasive predictors of fluid responsiveness are
needed. We hypothesised that the respiratory changes in the amplitude of the …
