This, however, may be insufficient to identify early signs of intravascular volume depletion and to prevent hypotensive episodes. For this reason, clinicians have utilized other measures such as ...

A method of detecting intravascular volume depletion in a patient during a hemodialysis session, the method comprising: measuring venous drip pressure for the patient; with a computer-driven analyzer, ...

This edition of the Resident Journal reviews the utility of ultrasound in measuring the inferior vena cava (IVC) as a surrogate of intravascular volume status and then reviews the recent literature to ...

Crucial to minimization of adverse events during hemodialysis, clinical estimation of intravascular volume generally relies on dry weight, which is poorly predictive. Ultrasound assessment of indexed ...

The assessment of a patient’s body fluid status is a challenging task for modern clinicians. Ultrasonography has numerous advantages, the most important being reproducibility and bedside monitoring of ...
