Brief Summary

Fluid administration is the first-line treatment in hypovolemic states in critically ill patients. Prediction of fluid responsiveness is possible with echocardiography by assessing the variation of the sub-aortic velocity-time integral (AoVTI) during a passive leg raising test (PLR) or Mini-fluid challenge. However, VTI-Ao measurement is not feasible in all patients due to poor echogenicity. Validation of new fluid-responsiveness indices may facilitate the evaluation in this patient population. Among the available indices, variation of the sub-pulmonary VTI is a potential criterion.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient with measurable sub-pulmonary VTI in at least one of the two windows: parasternal short-axis or subcostal. * Patient with measurable sub-aortic VTI in apical 4-chamber view before and after PLR maneuver. * Patient with suspected hypovolemia or whose hemodynamic status justifies vasopressor infusion. Exclusion Criteria: * Severe left ventricular dysfunction defined by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 30%. * Severe right ventricular dysfunction defined by TAPSE \< 12 mm. * Cardiac arrhythmia or atrial fibrillation. * Abdominal compartment syndrome. * Amputation of one or both lower limbs. * Intracranial hypertension. * Pregnant women (ruled out by systematic pregnancy test at ICU admission). * Minors.
