Association of infraclavicular axillary vein diameter and collapsibility index with general anesthesia-induced hypotension in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery: an observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The collapse index of inferior Vena Cava (IVC) and its diameter are important predictive tools for fluid responsiveness in patients, especially critically ones. The collapsibility of infraclavicular axillary vein (AXV) can be used as an alternative to the collapsibility of IVC (IVC-CI) to assess the patient's blood volume.

Methods

A total of 188 elderly patients aged between 65 and 85 years were recruited for gastrointestinal surgery under general anesthesia. Ultrasound measurements AXV and IVC were performed before induction of general anesthesia. Patients were grouped in accordance to the hypotension after induction. ROC curves were used to analyze the predictive value of ultrasound measurements of AXV and IVC for hypotension after induction of anesthesia. Pears
