Abstract:Objective
This study aimed to investigate whether changes in carotid artery corrected flow time (ΔFTcbolus) and carotid artery peak flow velocity respiratory variation (ΔVpeakbolus) induced by the fluid challenge could reliably predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients with a tidal volume < 8 ml/kg PBW while preserving spontaneous breathing.
Methods
Carotid artery corrected flow time (FTc), carotid artery peak flow velocity res… Show more
