Objectives: After studying the article titled “Effectiveness of Bedside Sonography by Residents for Fluid Management by Inferior Vena Cava Assessment,” you will be able to:
Describe the use of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) in determining fluid management
Analyze the findings in inferior vena cava (IVC) measurements for fluid management patients
Discuss the benefits of POCUS
In this study, the IVC is measured at which level? Extra-hepatic 2 cm distal to the right atrium 1 cm proximal to the hepatic vein junction 1 cm distal to the right renal vein junction
The IVC diameter measurement is obtained by using which of the following? Pulse wave Doppler B-mode Continuous wave Doppler M-mode
POCUS has recently become useful in which of the following areas? Pediatrics Sports medicine Emergency medicine Neurology
Which of the follow is true regarding IVC measurements in assessing fluid management in shock patients? A collapsibility index of <50% would indicate septic shock A collapsibility index of <50% would indicate obstructive shock IVC shows respiratory variation due to intra-abdominal pressures During expiration, negative intrathoracic pressures draw blood from abdomen to right side of heart
Why is ultrasound used for point of care imaging? Invasive Expensive Slow assessment time Noninvasive
