Carotid ultrasound for volume responsiveness assessment

This video will go over the techniques on how to perform 3 measures of carotid ultrasound measurements that may correlate with volume responsiveness: carotid blood flow, carotid flow time, and pulse variation

amazing and simple explanation of a very useful tool, thanks

[@nehalyousry9860]

Very simple & illustrative ... thnks alot

[@ajaysood9064]

excellent and very simple .Thanks

The sample volume must include the whole internal diameter of the vessel.

[@ahmedghanem1983]

are these procedures for mechanically ventilated or spontaneous breath patient?

[@emergencymedicine7944]

Artery dont vary with ventilation. It changes only with pulse if at all.

@@emergencymedicine7944 respiratory variation of peak systolic velocity changes from spontaneous vent to MV, so yes, this one will only help to predict fluid responsiveness on MV.
