Comparison of IVC Diameter and Pro-BNP for Judgeouos use of IV Fluids in Critical ill Patients on IPPV

Aim: To compare the diameter of IVC and levels Pro-BNP for use IV fluids in critical ill patients on IPPV Study Design: Descriptive cross sectional study Place duration study: At department Critical Care Medicine Services hospital, Lahore from April 2021 to March 2022 Methodology: The was conducted after approval hospital ethical committee each patient written consent form also obtained we enrolled 77 our fulfilling inclusion criteria. base line echocardiographic characteristics were analyzed including NT–proBNP inferior vena cava diameter. determined with help echocardiography. ELISA kit. For statistical analysis used SPSS 23 version. Pearson correlation test check relation between Correlation significant at p < 0.05. Results: mean age 62.06 ± 7.54. 37 (48.1 %) male 40 (51.9 female. results brain natriuretic peptide (pg/mL) 280. 58 40.82 1981.25 278.88. Inferior Vena Cava size 1.86 0.77 cm. (p 0.01) NT–proBNP. value 0.753. Conclusion: Natriuretic peptides are linked congestive heart failure. These findings imply that left-sided echocardiography biomarker assessment have a complimentary purpose. can be beneficial assessing volume status discriminating congestion non-congestion Keywords: diameter, Pro-BNP, fluids,
