Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of the study was to verify the efficacy of using internal jugular vein (IJV) size and distensibility as an index of fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients after cardiac surgery.

Enrollment: 50 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• hypotension
• oliguria
• high lactate level

Exclusion criteria

Trial design

50 participants in 2 patient groups

fluid responders

Description:

Patients whose stroke volume index increase by \>10% in response to a 500-ml fluid bolus was defined as fluid responders.

fluid non-responders

Description:

Patients whose stroke volume index increase by \<10% in response to a 500-ml fluid bolus was defined as fluid non-responders.
