How do you assess fluid status at the bedside? In this episode, we break down the four main fluid assessment strategies used in emergency and critical care: 🔹 Central Venous Pressure (CVP) – static, trend-based but poor predictor of fluid responsiveness 🔹 Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) – dynamic and strong evidence in the right conditions 🔹 Passive Leg Raise (PLR) – safe, reversible preload challenge valid across rhythms and ventilation 🔹 Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Ultrasound – quick, non-invasive, helpful in extremes of volume status
