We demonstrated that an LSTM network can be trained by using videos of IVC US to classify IVC collapse to predict fluid responsiveness. Our LSTM network performed moderately well given the small training cohort but worse than point-of-care US experts. Further training and testing of the LSTM network with a larger data sets is warranted.
