    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: Volume measurement in critically ill children can be conducted using invasive procedure such as Central Venous Pressure (CVP), or non-invasive procedure such as measurement of Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) indices using ultrasonography. However, their accuracy and efficacy are still under scrutiny. We aim to compare CVP and IVC indices as non-invasive parameters in assessing volume status in critically ill children. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review based on literature searching from four electronic databases which were PubMed, Cochrane, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink with keywords: "CENTRAL VENOUS PRESSURE", "INFERIOR VENA CAVA DIAMETER", "INFERIOR VENA CAVA COLLAPSIBILITY", "INFERIOR VENA CAVA AORTIC-RATIO", "VOLUME STATUS", "FLUID STATUS", "CRITICAL ILL", "CHILDREN", and "PEDIATRICS". We included relevant studies in English published from 2000 to 2023 on critically ill children aged 0-18 years. Comparison between CVP and IVC indices was resumed. RESULTS: Eight articles were included in this study. Majority of the studies showed a consistent correlation between CVP and IVC indices. IVC-CI was the most common parameter evaluated in the included studies. There was moderate to strong correlations using IVC-CI and IVC-DI, and moderate correlation using IVC-Ao ratio. CONCLUSION: We found that non-invasive tools might have a potential role to measure volume in critically ill children equals to CVP. Further high-quality and longitudinal studies are needed to validate these findings and to establish a clear guideline for the non-invasive tool to be used in daily clinical practice.
