About this study

Official title: Pre-operative Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Inferior Vena Cava Collapsibility Index and Caval Aorta Index to Predict Hypotension After Induction of General Anesthesia

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the predictive value of the inferior vena cava collapsibility index and caval aorta index for detecting hypotension after induction of general anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

Since cardiovascular depressant and vasodilatory effects of anesthetic agents, patients may be at risk of hypotension after induction of general anesthesia. Previous studies reported that, for evaluating volume status, some ultrasonographic measurements such as inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVCCI) could be used. Also some studies stated that measurement of aorta diameter index (IVC : Ao index) is reliable to predict hypotension after induction of spinal anesthesia. At the study, the investigators aimed to investigate the predictive values of the inferior vena cava collapsibility index and caval aorta index under ultrasound guidance in predicting post-induction hypotension in patients under general anesthesia.

Being tested
Inferior vena cava-Aorta diameter index

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Inferior vena cava-Aorta diameter indexOther

    Also called Inferior vena cava collapsibility index

    Before the induction of general anesthesia, inferior vena cava-Aorta diameter index and inferior vena cava collapsibility index will be measured.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Diagnostic value of IVCCI to detect post-induction hypotension assessed by Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.

    Measurement of inferior vena cava collapsibility index.

    Measured: 20 minutes

  2. Diagnostic value of IVC : Ao index to detect post-induction hypotension assessed by ROC curve analysis.

    Measurement of inferior vena cava-Aorta diameter index.

    Measured: 20 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of General Anesthesia and Hypotension on Induction, run by Antalya Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic value of IVCCI to detect post-induction hypotension assessed by Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. (time frame: 20 minutes). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05239234, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Nov 2022.
