Correlation Between Changes in End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide and Stroke Volume Variation Detected by Electrical Cardiometry as A Predictor of Fluid Volume Responsiveness in Hemodynamically Unstable Patients in the Intensive Care

Correlation Between Changes in End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide and Stroke Volume Variation Detected by Electrical Cardiometry as A Predictor of Fluid Volume Responsiveness in Hemodynamically Unstable Patients in the Intensive Care

This study will be conducted to assess the role of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PETCO2) monitoring to predict the fluid volume responsiveness in correlation with stroke volume variation detected by electrical cardiometry in patients with hemodynamic instability.

Inclusion criteria:

• Patients who will be 18 years or older.
• Patients on mechanical ventilation in the intensive care.
• Patients developing hypotension (MABP) <65 mmHg.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with organ/s failure at presentation.
• Patients with deep venous thrombosis.
• Patients with limb and pelvic fractures.
• Pregnant patients
