Brief Summary:
This study aims to assess the accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility of preoperative evaluation of Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) collapsibility index and caval aorta index for prediction of hypotension after induction of general anesthesia.
Detailed Description:
Post- anesthesia hypotension is of common occurrence, and it hampers tissue perfusion. The magnitude of hypotension is determined by the preoperative volume status, which varies depending on American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status, preoperative comorbidities, preoperative medications, and fasting.
General anesthesia causes significant alterations in hemodynamics, as both inhalational and intravenous anesthetics cause bradycardia, decrease in systemic vascular resistance and vasodilatation, and decrease in myocardial contractility, cardiac output and stroke volume, with the absence of surgical stimulus, making induction of anesthesia is the most crucial period at which hypotension occurs.
Due to different definitions of hypotension and diverse patient populations, the effect of volume preload on prevention of hypotension is still controversial. Many recommendations to identified sonographic determination of inferior vena cava (IVC) collapsibility index (IVCCI) as non-invasive, and easy technique for evaluating volume status. Recent guidelines from the American Society of Echocardiography support the general use of IVCCI in assessing volume status.
