Lirka
: I agree about the meaning in German, but it is usually expressed as "inspiratory collapse" (or lack thereof) in English.

IVC diameter 16 mm with almost no inspiratory collapse
kaum av= hardly any/almost no inspiratory collapse
I agree with Susanne regarding the meaning in German, but in EN it is expressed as "collapse" rather than "varying". For example, dilated IVC with no collapse is seen in acute heart failure.
