| Summary: | ULTRASONOGRAPHIC ABDOMINAL AORTA DIAMETER CHANGES: A
PREDICTOR OF HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK CLASS 1
Hypovolemic shock class 1 and mild to moderate
dehydration are associated with normal or minimal changes
in vital signs. Biochemical values markedly change only in
advanced hypovolemia. Inspiration and expiration inferior
vena cava diameter changes predict hypovolemic shock
class 1 but in acute emergencies this method is impractical.
The purpose of this study is to develop a new approach in
identifying hypovolemic shock at early phase (class 1
hypovolemic shock) by measuring the diameter of aorta
using ultrasound machine. |
