Brief summary
Portal vein pulsatility index is a marker of venous congestion evaluated by point of care ultrasound. It is associated with acute kidney injury, especially in critically ill patients. It may be considered as a dynamic marker. The investigators hypothesized that portal vein pulsatility index is higher after a fluid challenge only in patient without preload dependence in critically ill patients with cardiovascular insufficiency.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Portal vein pulsatility index variation induced by the fluid challenge (%), defined by: Portal vein pulsatility index before the fluid challenge - portal vein pulsatility index after the fluid challenge. | One hour | Portal vein pulsatility index is defined as the (maximal velocity - minimal velocity) / maximal velocity assessed with doppler in portal vein estimated with point of care ultrasound. |
