Assessment of Fluid Responsiveness via Central Venous Ultrasound Measurement: A Network Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Ultrasonographic assessment of the diameters of various veins and their indices are among the most applied diagnostic tools for evaluating fluid responsiveness in clinical practice. Despite their widespread use, there is no definitive answer on which is preferable. Our study aimed to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of different venous diameters and their indices to assess fluid responsiveness. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis, analyzing prospective studies evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of venous diameters (inferior vena cava [IVC], internal jugular vein [IJV], superior vena cava, and subclavian vena) and their indices for fluid responsiveness. Electronic databases were searched from inception until March 2024; this searc
