Measurement of carotid blood flow (CBF) and corrected carotid flow time (ccFT) has been proposed as a non-invasive means of determining fluid responsiveness. We evaluated the ability of CBF and ccFT as assessed by novice sonologists to determine fluid responsiveness in intensive care unit patients. Three novice physician sonologists performed carotid ultrasounds before and after a fluid bolus and calculated changes in CBF and ccFT. Fluid responsiveness was defined as a ≥10% increase in cardiac i ...[more]
