Abstract: Ultrasound monitoring of the inferior vena cava is a non-invasive, safe and repeatable technique, which can avoid adverse reactions such as infection due to invasive operations. Its diameter is correlated with central venous pressure, can reflect the patient's capacity status, assess the patient's condition development timely and accurately, and grasp the best treatment opportunity, which has guiding significance for the treatment of critically ill patients.
