About this trial
Ultrasonographic evaluation of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is widely used in emergency and critical care settings for noninvasive assessment of intravascular volume status. The subcostal (SC) window is the standard approach; however, it is frequently limited by obesity, bowel distension, or postoperative anatomical changes. In such cases, the right coronal (RC) and anterior transhepatic (aTH) windows have been proposed as alternatives.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Adult patients (≥18 years) requiring ultrasonographic assessment of intravascular volume status will be consecutively enrolled.
Disqualifiers
Pregnancy, refusal to participate, and inability to obtain any IVC image via the SC approach.
Trial population
Adult patients (≥18 years) requiring ultrasonographic assessment of intravascular volume status in the emergency departments, intensive care units, and other acute care settings.

The intermethod agreement of IVC diameter and collapsibility index measurements
The intermethod agreement of IVC diameter and collapsibility index measurements obtained from the subcostal (SC), anterior transhepatic (aTH), and right coronal (RC) ultrasonographic windows under a standardized imaging protocol, and to determine whether aTH and RC windows can serve as reliable alternatives to the SC approach across diverse clinical settings and operator profiles.
