Diagnostic accuracy of inferior vena caval respiratory variation in detecting fluid unresponsiveness: A systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSION Decreased inferior vena caval respiratory variation is moderately accurate in predicting fluid unresponsiveness both in spontaneous and mechanically ventilated patients. The findings of this review should be used in the appropriate clinical context and in conjunction with other clinical assessments of fluid status. IDENTIFIER CRD 42017068028.
