What this Trial Is About
Fluid administration is the first-line treatment in hypovolemic states in critically ill patients. Prediction of fluid responsiveness is possible with echocardiography by assessing the variation of the sub-aortic velocity-time integral (AoVTI) during a passive leg raising test (PLR) or Mini-fluid challenge. However, VTI-Ao measurement is not feasible in all patients due to poor echogenicity. Validation of new fluid-responsiveness indices may facilitate the evaluation in this patient population. Among the available indices, variation of the sub-pulmonary VTI is a potential criterion.

Who Can Participate
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Patient with measurable sub-pulmonary VTI in at least one of the two windows: parasternal short-axis or subcostal.
- Patient with measurable sub-aortic VTI in apical 4-chamber view before and after PLR maneuver.
- Patient with suspected hypovolemia or whose hemodynamic status justifies vasopressor infusion.
You will not qualify if you...
- Severe left ventricular dysfunction defined by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 30%.
- Severe right ventricular dysfunction defined by TAPSE < 12 mm.
- Cardiac arrhythmia or atrial fibrillation.
- Abdominal compartment syndrome.
- Amputation of one or both lower limbs.
- Intracranial hypertension.
- Pregnant women (ruled out by systematic pregnancy test at ICU admission).
- Minors.
