The Usability of IVC Diameter, IVC Collapsibility Index and Snuffbox Resistive Index in the Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock Patients in the Emergency Department

Abstract

Hemodynamics is a science that studies the properties and rules of movement of blood and its components in the body. Oxygen delivery to tissues is an important component of peripheral and systemic circulatory hemodynamics. Peripheral and systemic circulation is the key point to achieving hemodynamic stability. Hemodynamic evaluation guides the admission of patients to the intensive care unit during the diagnosis and treatment process. IVC diameter, IVC collapsibility index, and snuffbox resistive index are new ultrasonographic parameters in the management of sepsis and septic shock patients in the emergency department
