IVC Ultrasound Versus Central Venous Pressure for Early Detection of Hypovolemia in Shock Patients

Lead Sponsor:

Assiut University

Conditions:

Shock

Hypovolemia

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-65 years

Brief Summary

This study aims to compare ultrasound-guided inferior vena cava (IVC) assessment with central venous pressure (CVP) monitoring for the detection of hypovolemia in shock patients in the emergency depar...

Detailed Description

Hypovolemia is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality among patients presenting with shock in the emergency department. Early recognition and accurate assessment of intravascular volume status...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • 1- Adult patients aged ≥18 years. 2.Both male and female patients will be included in the study. 3. Presentation to the Emergency Department with clinical evidence of shock, defined by: Hypotension (systolic blood pressure \<90 mmHg or mean arterial pressure \<65 mmHg).
  • Evidence of tissue hypoperfusion (e.g., altered mental status, cold extremities, or oliguria).
  • Elevated serum lactate (\>2 mmol/L). 4. Shock attributed to hypovolemic, septic, or hemorrhagic etiologies. 5. Patients requiring fluid resuscitation and hemodynamic monitoring.

Exclusion

  • 1 - Patients younger than 18 years. 2. Pregnancy. 3.Cardiogenic or obstructive shock (e.g., cardiac tamponade, massive pulmonary embolism, or tension pneumothorax).
  • Known inferior vena cava (IVC) anomalies (e.g., congenital absence, thrombosis).
  • 5\. Increased intra-abdominal pressure or severe ascites. 6. Morbid obesity (BMI ≥40 kg/m²) or any condition interfering with adequate IVC ultrasound visualization.
  • 7\. Prior central venous catheterization performed before Emergency Department arrival.
  • 8\. Congestive heart failure (CHF) with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF \<40%) or pulmonary hypertension.
  • 9\. Refusal of the patient or legal guardian to participate in the study.
