Table 1 Correlation of inferior vena cava diameter and caval/distensibility indices with right atrial pressure, fluid responsiveness and fluid intolerance
| IVC diameter (cm) | IVC inspiratory collapsibility or distensibility (%) | Right atrial pressure (mmHg) | Fluid responsiveness (to correlate with other features) | Fluid intolerance (to correlate with other features) |
| > 2.1 | Collapsibility < 50 | 10-20 | No | Possible |
| Distensibility < 18 | ||||
| > 2.1 | Collapsibility > 50 | 5-10 | Possible (judicious fluid); | Possible |
| Distensibility > 18 | ||||
| ≤ 2.1 | Collapsibility < 50 | 5-10 | Possible (judicious fluid) | Possible |
| Distensibility < 18 | ||||
| ≤ 2.1 | Collapsibility > 50 | 0-5 | Yes | Unlikely |
| Distensibility > 18 |
