Transthoracic echocardiography as predictor of fluid responsiveness in circulatory failure patients

摘要

Objectives : To evaluate role of tranthoracic echocardiography in prediction of fluid responsiveness in cirulatory failure patients. Data Sources: a literature search using MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews for prospective studies with no restrictions. All materials accessible from these database to 2016 were included. Study Selection: a special search was conducted with the key words transthoracic echocardiography, fluid responsiveness & circulatory failure. Only full text articles in indexed journals were included. Data Extraction: The initial investigation exhibited 3138 articles of which 8 met the incorporation criteria. The articles discussed the role of Echocardiography in predicting fluid responsiveness. Data Synthesis: the main result of the review. Each study was reviewed independently; the data obtained were rebuilt in a new language according to the need of the researcher and arranged into topics through the article. Results: The predictive power of diagnostic accuracy of transthoracic echocardiography parameters changes with the respiratory cycle or passive leg raising in mechanically ventilated patients was strong throughout the articles reviewed.
