Flat Inferior Vena Cava on Computed Tomography for Predicting Shock and Mortality in Trauma: A Meta-Analysis

Flat Inferior Vena Cava on Computed Tomography for Predicting Shock and Mortality in Trauma: A Meta-Analysis

Hypovolemia may be underestimated due to compensatory mechanisms. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we investigated the diagnostic accuracy of a flat inferior vena cava (IVC) on computed tomography (CT) for predicting the development of shock and mortality in trauma patients. Relevant stu...
