  Author(s): Abdulkadir Yektaş*
  
  Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of midazolam sedation on intravascular volume in intubated patients diagnosed with sepsis and treated with invasive mechanical ventilation in continuous positive airway pressure mode using echocardiography (ECHO) parameters. Methods and Results: One hundred fifty-two intensive care unit patients aged 30-50 years with spontaneous breathing who were intubated, ventilated in continuous positive airway pressure mode via invasive mechanical ventilation, were determined to have fluid deficit. Cardiac index, cardiac out-put and velocity time integral measurements were performed by passive leg rising test before and after midazolam sedation in hypovolemic patients that were determined to respond to fluid treatment and changes in passive leg rising test before and after mida..
