Registration Number
CTRI/2024/10/074955
Lead Sponsor
Aarupadai Veedu Medical College and Hospital
Brief Summary

Post-spinalanaesthesia hypotension is one of the most common side effects of spinalanaesthesia Hypotension occurs due to sympathetic blockade and decreasedsystemic vascular resistance resulting in reduced venous return anddecreased cardiac output PSH may be associated with nausea vomiting syncope dizziness cardiacarrhythmias cardiac arrest and may sometimes lead to death Therefore predicting PSH is particularly important so that preventive measures or timelyinterventions can be taken to avoid untoward events Ultrasonographicassessment of the inferior vena cava collapsibility index is easy toperform non-invasive time-efficient and readily available as well PreoperativeIVCCI is a reliable predictor of hypotension after induction of generalanaesthesia with high specificity We hypothesized thatpatients with increased respiratory variations in IVC diameter would have morechances of developing PSH
