Summary

This study aims to describe the ratio of the diameter of inferior vena cava to the common femoral vein measured by ultrasonography in critically ill patients with shock, and to evaluate the potential link between this ratio and the existence of intra-abdominal disease.

Detailed description

Among patients presenting with severe abdominal disease and shock, observations shown that the diameter of the common femoral vein was larger than the inferior vena cava. The hypothesis is that this observation could be secondary to a compression of the inferior vena cava related to an increased intra abdominal pressure.

Conditions

• Hemodynamic Instability

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Ultrasonography	At the time of ICU admission, among critically ill patients with shock, the investigators will measure the diameter of the common femoral vein and that of the inferior vena cava by ultrasonography.
