Background. The benefit of end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) and inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVCCI) in predicting fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients has been demonstrated. However, the data on spontaneously breathing patients is controversial. This study aims to investigate the accuracy of variations in the ETCO2 (Delta ETCO2) and IVCCI (Delta IVCCI) gradient in predicting volume responsiveness in spontaneously breathing patients with hypovolemia.
