Brief Summary  

We did a prospective parallel group observational study to assess efficacy of delta CA-VTI in predicting fluid responsiveness and its correlation with delta LVOT-VTI in critically patients on mechanical ventilation in sepsis, septic shock and those not in sepsis in a mixed medical-surgical ICU.

To conclude, CA-VTI can be a useful dynamic variable to assess fluid responsiveness in critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation in sepsis and those not in sepsis and it correlates well with similar changes in LVOT-VTI and stroke volume in these patient population. However, in the more important subset of patient population with septic shock, usefulness of CA-VTI remains questionable. Further study with larger sample size requires to be done to address this issue.
