A 55-year-old man with septic shock is admitted to the ICU. He is mechanically ventilated and sedated. His CVP is measured at 8 mm Hg. Which statement best describes the utility of this measurement in assessing his fluid responsiveness?
A CVP of 8 mm Hg indicates that the patient is unlikely to respond to fluid administration.
CVP is a reliable predictor of fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients.
CVP has poor predictive value for fluid responsiveness and should not be used alone to guide therapy.
A CVP of 8 mm Hg confirms adequate intravascular volume status.
A 60-year-old woman with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is receiving mechanical ventilation. Her tidal volume is set at 6 mL/kg. You want to assess her fluid responsiveness using pulse pressure variation (PPV). What limitation should you consider before interpreting PPV in this patient?
PPV is unreliable in patients with ARDS due to high intra-abdominal pressure.
PPV requires a tidal volume of at least 8 mL/kg for accurate results.
PPV cannot be used in patients with spontaneous breathing efforts.
PPV is only valid in patients with cardiac arrhythmias.
A 45-year-old man with hypovolemic shock is being resuscitated in the emergency department. Bedside ultrasound shows an inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter of 9 mm with >50% collapsibility during inspiration. What does this finding suggest?
The patient is likely euvolemic.
The patient is likely hypervolemic.
The patient is likely hypovolemic and may benefit from fluid resuscitation.
The IVC findings are inconclusive without measuring central venous pressure.
A 70-year-old man with chronic heart failure presents with worsening dyspnea. Chest radiography shows vascular pedicle width (VPW) of 75 mm. What does this finding most likely indicate?
Normal intravascular volume status.
Hypovolemia.

Pulmonary hypertension.
A 35-year-old woman with septic shock is undergoing fluid resuscitation. Passive leg raising (PLR) is performed, and stroke volume increases by 12%. What is the most appropriate next step?
