Hypovolemia from blood loss is a major cause of death in polytrauma patients, and traditional methods of volume assessment like blood pressure and heart rate are frequently late indicators and may be deceptive due to compensatory mechanisms. Early identification of these causes is essential for prompt intervention.The non-invasive ultrasound-based Inferior Vena Cava Collapsibility Index (IVC-CI), which offers information on intravascular volume status, is one such tool. Variations in the IVC's width throughout the respiratory cycle are reflected in the IVC collapsibility index. A high degree of collapsibility in patients who are breathing on their own usually denotes low central venous pressure and potential hypovolemia. The use of IVC measures as a stand-in for preload evaluation and fluid responsiveness has been validated by numerous studies, particularly in emergency and critical care situations.\n\nThe primary sources of lactate, the conjugate base of lactic acid, are red blood cells and muscles during anaerobic metabolism (when oxygen is limited). It is created when the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) transforms pyruvate, the byproduct of glycolysis, into lactate; Serum lactate is a known indicator of tissue hypoperfusion and anaerobic metabolism, and elevated lactate levels are commonly seen in individuals with repeated injuries due to tissue hypoxia.
