Image highlight

Critical Care periodically features a figure from a recently published article as an Image Highlight. Submit your manuscript to Critical Care and an image from your article could be featured on this page - no colour figure charges apply.

Illustrative example of Doppler evaluation of brachial artery peak velocity variation (ΔVpeakbrach) in a responder patient (left) and nonresponder patient (right). In the responder patient, volume expansion (VE) induced a decrease of ΔVpeakbrach by 15% (from 23% at baseline to 8% after VE) and an increase of stroke volume index and cardiac index by 27% and 12%, respectively. Radial pulse pressure variation (ΔPPrad) and stroke volume variation also (ΔSVVigileo) significantly decreased in the same patient (from 23% to 4%, and from 24% to 11%, respectively). In nonresponder patients VE did not induce any significant change in ΔVpeakbrach (from 9% to 9% after VE), ΔPPrad (from 10% to 8%) or ΔSVVigileo (from 13% to 12%). Neither cardiac index nor stroke volume index increased significantly after VE (6% and 8%, respectively).
