Ultrasound probe position for IJV detection at the cricoid cartilage level (a). The patient is in the supine position at 30°. M-mode assessment of the antero-posterior diameter of the IJV in a responsive patient (b, a high variability of IJV diameter is seen) and in a non-responsive patient (c, lack of variation of the IJV diameter is seen) while on mechanical ventilation
