Evaluation of the Inferior Vena Cava Diameter in Dehydrated Children Using Bedside Ultrasonography
Objective. Bedside ultrasonography (US) is a new imaging modality that has begun to be used in the Pediatric Emergency Unit to evaluate inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter for intravascular volume status. In this article, we aimed to evaluate IVC diameter with bedside US before and after the fluid the...

| description | Objective. Bedside ultrasonography (US) is a new imaging modality that has begun to be used in the Pediatric Emergency Unit to evaluate inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter for intravascular volume status. In this article, we aimed to evaluate IVC diameter with bedside US before and after the fluid therapy in dehydrated children. Methods. A total of 124 dehydrated patients were enrolled, aged 8 months to 17 years. The maximum diameters of the IVC and aorta (AO) were measured. IVC/AO ratio and IVC collapsibility index IVC–CI were calculated before and after the fluid therapy and correlation with the degree of dehydration and laboratory parameters was investigated. Results. Of the 124 patients, 49.2% (n = 61) were male, the mean age was 7.5 ± 4.94 years. The IVC/AOs ratio was increased in mild and moderate/severe groups after fluid therapy compared to before fluid administration. While the mean rate of heart rate, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and uric acid values were higher in the moderate/severe group, potassium and HCO3 were lower. There was no significant change in AO diameter and IVC–CI after fluid therapy in all groups. When the factors affecting the IVC/AOs ratio were analyzed with the logistic regression backward model; the IVC/AO ratio was found to increase as the degree of dehydration decreased (Adj.β = −0.318) and as the age (Adj.β = 0.242) and CRP (Adj.β = 0.186) value increased. Conclusion. The IVC/AO ratio can be a promising index for the assessment and grading of dehydration in children, and cutoff values that vary according to age are necessary for a more objective assessment of dehydration. |
