Why the study?
The study aimed to evaluate whether carotid Doppler indices can predict fluid responsiveness and correlate with stroke volume index changes after a fluid bolus in mechanically ventilated CABG patients.
Do carotid doppler indices predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients undergoing CABG surgery?
Do carotid doppler indices predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients undergoing CABG surgery?
Carotid doppler indices are unreliable for assessing fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients undergoing CABG and cannot replace invasive methods.

Carotid Doppler indices unreliable for fluid responsiveness in ventilated CABG patients; leaves open need for validation against invasive standards.
