Correlation Between Transhepatic and Subcostal Inferior Vena Cava Views to Assess Inferior Vena Cava Variation: A Pilot Study

Agreement between subcostal and transhepatic views was substantial for the assessment of IVC diameter variation; however, the magnitude of agreement was less than anticipated. Further research is needed to determine if the transhepatic view can be used reliably in the assessment of fluid responsiveness.
