Efficacy of the inferior vena cava collapsibility index in predicting anaesthesia-induced hypotension in elderly patients undergoing hip arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT: The inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVCCI) has been used to predict fluid responsiveness. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the perioperative IVCCI to predict postinduction hypotension (PIH) under general anaesthesia (GA) combined with lumbar plexus sacral plexus block (LSPB) in elderly patients undergoing hip arthroplasty. A total of forty patients aged over 65 years were recruited for this prospective observational study. The diameters of the inferior vena cava (IVC), common iliac vein (CIV) and IVCCI were measured at baseline and 15 min post-LSPB. PIH was defined as a systolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg or a ≥ 30% drop from baseline; patients were divided into hypotensive and nonhypotensive groups. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the ability
