Assessment of corrected flow time in carotid artery via point-of-care ultrasonography: Reference values and the influential factors

Assessment of Corrected Flow Time (FTc) in carotid artery has been suggested recently as a measure of intravascular volume status. This study aimed to determine the reference values of FTc in carotid artery in a normal population. A total number of 142 healthy volunteers (73 females and 69 males) with a mean age of 36.65 ± 10.52 years were included. The mean FTc in carotid artery was 325.18 ± 22.15 ms0.5. The mean value of FTc differed...
