IVC Indices for Pediatric Fluid Status by boby abdul rahman is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses using point-of-care ultrasound to measure the diameter of the inferior vena cava (IVC) to assess fluid status in critically ill pediatric patients. Measuring the IVC diameter is a non-invasive way to calculate the IVC collapsibility index in spontaneously breathing patients and the IVC distensibility index in mechanically ventilated patients. These indices provide objective guidance for fluid management in pediatric intensive care units, where detecting volume status and planning app
