Peripheral i.v. analysis (PIVA) of venous waveforms for volume assessment in patients undergoing haemodialysis

摘要

The assessment of intravascular volume status remains a challenge for clinicians. Peripheral i.v. analysis (PIVA) is a method for analysing the peripheral venous waveform that has been used to monitor volume status. We present a proof-of-concept study for evaluating the efficacy of PIVA in detecting changes in fluid volume.
