EUS Elastography for Predicting Cirrhotic-related Complications
Evaluation of the tissue stiffness as a surrogate marker of degree of liver cirrhosis has gained popularity in recent decades. Current guidelines also advocate the use of Fibroscan® machine (EchoSens, Paris, France) to detect any advanced liver fibrosis as represented by high liver stiffness, for prediction of varices development. Apart …

Respiratory Variation of Superior Vena Cava in Transthoracic View as a Fluid Responsiveness Predictor
Fluid evaluation is relevant in critical care. Cardiac ultrasound is the first line of evaluation in hemodynamic characterization of patients in shock, to tailor therapy. Fluid responsiveness predictors allow to better decide when to administer fluids, and transesophagic view of superior vena cava is an effective one. Recently a transthoracic …
