Can Vena Cava Ultrasound Guided Volume Repletion Prevent Spinal Induced Significant Hypotension in Elective Surgical Patients? A Randomized, Case Control, Prospective Trial.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ultrasound-guided volemic repletion for Fluid Overload and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 160 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Aim of this study is to determine whether Inferior Vena Cava analyzed by trans-thoracic echocardiography is an effective method to guide titrated fluid repletion in non critical patients, in order both to decrease post procedural significant hypotension rate and to avoid unnecessary fluid overload in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia for elective surgical procedures
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
After echocardiography analysis of Inferior Vena Cava, patient is repleted with a pre-established bolus of fluid (500 ml of crystalloid). After this repletion, patient is analyzed till the exam reach signal of non-responsiveness, previously defined as a reduction of Inferior Vena Cava diameter less than 36% from baseline level during normal breath
