Sonographic Assessment of Intravascular Fluid Estimate (SAFE) Score by Using Bedside Ultrasound in the Intensive Care Unit

Table 3

Impression of the intravascular volume status by the standard measures compared with the total ultrasound score. Fisher’s exact test, value <0.001, indicating impression standard measures correlate with the final ultrasound scores. Bold scores represent the most in that category.
