摘要

Sonographic assessment of the carotid arteries has historically been utilized to evaluate cerebrovascular ischemia in the context of transient ischemic attack or stroke. More recently in the realm of critical care medicine, several carotid artery assessments have been described as potential tools for predicting fluid responsiveness, as well as assessing changes in cardiac output for patients in shock.
