Fluid Challenge Impact in the Portal Vein Pulsatility Depending on the Fluid Responsivness Status

Completed
Conditions
Venous Congestion
Cardiovascular Insufficiency
Registration Number
NCT05828407
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

Portal vein pulsatility index is a marker of venous congestion evaluated by point of care ultrasound. It is associated with acute kidney injury, especially in critically ill patients. It may be considered as a dynamic marker. The investigators hypothesized that portal vein pulsatility index is higher after a fluid challenge only in patient without preload dependence in critically ill patients with cardiovascular insufficiency.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Portal vein pulsatility index variation induced by the fluid challenge (%), defined by: Portal vein pulsatility index before the fluid challenge - portal vein pulsatility index after the fluid challenge.One hour

Portal vein pulsatility index is defined as the (maximal velocity - minimal velocity) / maximal velocity assessed with doppler in portal vein estimated with point of care ultrasound.
