Pre-anesthesia ultrasound monitoring of subclavian vein diameter changes induced by modified passive leg raising can predict the occurrence of hypotension after general anesthesia: a prospective observational study

BMC Anesthesiology, 2023
Background Perioperative hypotension increases postoperative complication rates and prolongs postoperative recovery time. Whether Passive Leg Raising test (PLR) and Subclavian Vein Diameter (DSCV) can effectively predict post-anesthesia hypotension ...

Prediction of fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients in surgical intensive care unit by pleth variability index and inferior vena cava diameter

Ain Shams Journal of Anesthesiology, 2020
Background Patients may have signs of hypovolemia, but fluid administration is not always beneficial. We are in need of bedside devices and techniques, which can predict fluid responsiveness effectively and safely.
