Carotid doppler indices do not predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery

ConclusionsCarotid doppler indices are unreliable to assess fluid responsiveness, and cannot replace invasive methods of analyzing preload optimization. There was no significant correlation between carotid doppler-derived indices and alterations in SVI before and after the fluid bolus.
