Does intensivist-performed bedside ultrasonography measurement of IVC collapsibility index correlate with invasive CVP in SICU patients?
Intensivist-performed bedside ultrasonography of the IVC collapsibility index correlates significantly with invasive CVP, offering a noninvasive method for volume status assessment in the SICU.
Stawicki et al. (2009) studied this question.
