About this study

Official title: Hemodynamic Assessment Using the Inferior Vena Cava Collapsibility Index in Patients Undergoing Lumbar Stabilization Surgery

This study aims to evaluate perioperative hemodynamic changes using the inferior vena cava (IVC) collapsibility index in patients undergoing lumbar stabilization surgery under general anesthesia. The IVC diameter and collapsibility index will be measured using ultrasonography at predefined perioperative time points. Hemodynamic parameters such as blood pressure and heart rate will also be recorded. The study seeks to determine whether the IVC collapsibility index can be used as a non-invasive indicator of intravascular volume status and hemodynamic changes during lumbar spine surgery.

Read the detailed description

his prospective study aims to evaluate perioperative hemodynamic changes using the inferior vena cava (IVC) collapsibility index in patients undergoing lumbar stabilization surgery under general anesthesia in the prone position. The inferior vena cava diameter will be measured using ultrasonography at different perioperative time points, including the preoperative period, after induction of anesthesia, and before extubation.

The IVC diameter and collapsibility index will be recorded and analyzed to assess changes in intravascular volume status during the perioperative period. In addition to ultrasonographic measurements, hemodynamic parameters such as blood pressure and heart rate will be monitored and recorded.

The study aims to investigate whether the IVC collapsibility index can be used as a non-invasive indicator of intravascular volume status and perioperative hemodynamic changes in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery.

Study groups in NCT07549165
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients Undergoing Lumbar Spine SurgeryAdult patients undergoing elective lumbar spine stabilization surgery under general anesthesia in the prone position. Inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and collapsibility index will be measured using ultrasonography at predefined perioperative time points (preoperative period, after induction of anesthesia, and before extubation). Hemodynamic parameters such as blood pressure and heart rate will also be recorded.

What is being measured

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

  1. Inferior Vena Cava Collapsibility Index

    The inferior vena cava (IVC) collapsibility index will be measured using ultrasonography at predefined perioperative time points (preoperative period, after induction of general anesthesia, and before extubation) in patients undergoing elective lumbar spine surgery in the prone position.

    Measured: Perioperative period (preoperative assessment, after anesthesia induction, and before extubation)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Intraoperative Hypotension Incidence

    The occurrence of intraoperative hypotension during lumbar spine surgery under general anesthesia will be recorded. Hypotension will be defined as mean arterial pressure below 65 mmHg.

    Measured: During the intraoperative period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lumbar Spine Surgery and Hemodynamic Changes, run by Trabzon Kanuni Education and Research Hospital at 2 sites 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 5 inclusion and 13 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Şeyma Yüksel Ayar, MD (+905395655853, balseymayuksel@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Inferior Vena Cava Collapsibility Index (time frame: Perioperative period (preoperative assessment, after anesthesia induction, and before extubation)). 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 NCT07549165, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 23 Apr 2026.
