To assess the efficacy of Echocardiographic parameter and carotid artery ultrasonosonography parameter to predict which patient need intravenous fluid in ICU

Conditions
ICU patients on mechanical ventilation

Brief Summary

We did a prospective parallel group observational studyto assess efficacy of delta CA-VTI in predicting fluid responsiveness and itscorrelation with delta LVOT-VTI in critically patients on mechanicalventilation in sepsis, septic shock and those not in sepsis in a mixedmedical-surgical ICU.

To conclude, CA-VTI can be a useful dynamic variable toassess fluid responsiveness in critically ill patients on mechanicalventilation in sepsis and those not in sepsis and it correlates well withsimilar changes in LVOT-VTI and stroke volume in these patient population.However, in the more important subset of patient population with septic shock,usefulness of CA-VTI remains questionable. Further study with larger samplesize requires to be done to address this issue.
