From: Comparison of superior and inferior vena cava diameter variation measured with transthoracic echocardiography to predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients after abdominal surgery

Fig. 2

Receiver operating characteristic curves comparing the ability of superior vena caval collapsibility index (SVCCI), inferior vena cava distensibility index (dIVC), and superior vena caval variation over the cardiac cycle (SVCV) (A) to discriminate responders from nonresponders. Sensitivity and specificity plots predict fluid responsiveness according to the values of SVCCI (B), dIVC (C), and SVCV (D) to determine the gray zone which is indicated by the two vertical dotted lines
