EASy IVC
Pre-Induction Optimization Protocol
EASy IVC combines IVC assessment with the hemodynamic cluster framework to guide pre-induction optimization of critically ill patients — targeting volume and vasopressor management before induction.
Protocol Components
IVC diameter measurement (2cm from RA junction)
IVC collapsibility index calculation
Hemodynamic cluster identification (1-4)
Pre-induction fluid optimization targets
Vasopressor/inotrope recommendations by cluster
Post-induction reassessment protocol
IVC-Guided Optimization
Small (<1.5cm), collapsing
Volume resuscitate before induction
High risk of post-induction hypotension
Normal (1.5-2.5cm), partial collapse
Small fluid bolus, prepare vasopressor
Moderate risk
Plethoric (>2.5cm), no collapse
Avoid fluid, assess RV/LV function
May indicate cardiogenic or obstructive cause
