Comparative Analysis of the Collapsibility Index and Distensibility Index of the Inferior Vena Cava Through Echocardiography with Pulse Pressure Variation That Predicts Fluid Responsiveness in Surgical Patients: An Observational Controlled Trial
The objective for the present study was to compare the collapsibility (IcIVC) and distensibility (IdIVC) indices of the inferior vena cava with pulse pressure variation (PPV) and determine the accuracy and cutoff points of IcIVC and IdIVC that best predict response to intravenous fluid therapy in surgical patients.
