Abstract
BackgroundThere are only a few studies on perioperative use of inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVCCI) to predict hypotension after anesthesia. The study aimed to evaluate IVCCI as predictor of hypotension in patients receiving central neuraxial block (CNB) for elective surgery.MethodOne hundred patients of ASA grade I/II, aged 18–60 years undergoing elective surgery under CNB were enrolled. Ultrasound IVC examination was performed preoperatively and the patients were allocated to Group C (Collapsing group: IVCCI ≥50%) or Group NC (Non‐Collapsing group: IVCCI <50%). Thereafter, in the operation theatre, the patient was given CNB and observed for development of hypotension. The hypotension was treated with additional fluid bolus (5 mL kg−1 over 10 minutes) and/or vasopressor (mephentramine 6 mg IV). The primary objective was to compare the incidence of hypotension; the secondary objective was to compare the fluid and vasopressor requirement in the Groups C and NC.ResultSix patients were excluded from study due to poor visualization of IVC. The mean IVCCI for Group C (n = 53) was 56.06 ± 4.62% and Group NC (n = 41) was 34.01 ± 8.94%. The incidence of hypotension was 56.60% (20/53) in Group C and 4.87% (2/41) in Group NC (P < .001). The vasopressor and fluid requirement was also statistically significantly higher in Group C compared with Group NC (P < .001).ConclusionPreoperative ultrasound assessment of IVCCI is useful in predicting hypotension after CNB in patients receiving CNB for elective surgery.
