Obese adult patients (body mass index >30 kg/m2) with American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) status II-III between 18 and 65 years age old who were scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled in the study.
Exclusion criteria were as follows, previous IJV cannulation, thrombosis of IJV, anatomical neck abnormalities, uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes, congestive heart failure, valvular heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary hypertension. Patients who experienced severe hypotension (mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) of 30% below the baseline value) and bradycardia (heart rate (HR) below 45 beats per min) after induction of anesthesia and/or during the ultrasound measurements were excluded from the study
