Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the correlation between inferior vena cava diameters, central venous pressure and IVC collapsibility index for estimating the volume status in critically ill patientsTimepoint: Ultrasound image acquisition recording will be done initially. After one minute central venous pressure will be measured | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To establish inferior vena cava diameter & IVC collapsibility index as a non invasive tool for the evaluation of intravascular fluid volume & to guide fluid management in critically ill patientsTimepoint: Baseline USG guided IVC diameter & IVC collapsibility index obtained. After 1 minute CVP will be measured & values will be correlated | — |
