TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 8. Ultrasound of the Inferior Vena Cava A1 - Mayse, Martin L. A2 - Carmody, Kristin A. A2 - Moore, Christopher L. A2 - Feller-Kopman, David PY - 2011 T2 - Handbook of Critical Care and Emergency Ultrasound AB - Ultrasound evaluation of the inferior vena cava (IVC) provides rapid, noninvasive assessment of a patient's hemodynamic status at the bedside. The size of the IVC and its respiratory variability has been shown to correlate with right atrial pressure (RAP) and intravascular volume. These observations are valuable in estimating RAP, detecting changes in intravascular volume, and monitoring a patient's response to volume resuscitation.
