Superior vena cava collapsibility index as a predictor of fluid responsiveness: a systematic review with meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The superior vena cava collapsibility index (SVC-CI) is a potential marker of fluid responsiveness (FR) in mechanically ventilated patients. Few studies reporting its diagnostic performance are currently available.

Material and methods

A systematic search, using the PRISMA approach, was performed using the Medline and EMBASE databases. Prospective studies evaluating the SVC-CI as a marker of FR in ventilated adult patients were included. A bivariate random-effect model was utilised to generate the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve. The area under the ROC curve (AUC), the sensitivity and specificity of the curve operating point were calculated.

Results

We included eight studies with a total of 857 patients, in whom SVC-CI was evaluated
