Overview
In this observational study, we will assess cFT by Carotid ultrasound and IVC collapsibility index for prediction of hypotension after induction of general anesthesia in geriatric patients undergoing elective surgery.
Detailed description
Following the onset of general anesthesia, hypotension is frequently observed, and intraoperative hypotension is linked to end organ damage following surgery, including cardiac ischemia and severe renal injury. postoperative end-organ damage depends on the duration and magnitude.
The incidence of hypotension after induction of general anesthesia varies and is influenced by the induction agent, patient characteristics, and the definition of hypotension.
Hypotension was defined by a 30% reduction in the SBP or 20% reduction in the MAP from baseline or an absolute SBP of less than 90 mm Hg and MAP of less than 65 mm Hg within 3 minutes after induction of general anesthesia.
Elderly people are more likely to experience hemodynamic fluctuation and hypotension due to the high prevalence of left ventricular diastolic failure, lower vascular reactivity and higher sensitivity to anesthetics. More significantly, older patients can't tolerate hypotension for a long time.
A variety of hemodynamic monitoring techniques have been used to predict post- anesthetic hypotension. Non-invasive cardiometry, ultrasound evaluation of fluid status, and pulse oximetry variables, such as the perfusion index and pulse variability index, were utilized.
Zhang and Critchley demonstrated that preoperative hypovolemia predicted postinduction hypotension as determined by the inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and IVC collapsibility index.
In many clinical situations, volume-responsive patients have been identified using Doppler-derived metrics such as the peak blood flow peak velocity variation (ðVpeak) and the common carotid artery corrected flow time (cFT).
The carotid artery Doppler measures provide several benefits, including being noninvasive and being technically simple to obtain due to the carotid artery's superficial nature. Since the common carotid artery cFT is unaffected by respiratory attempts, it can also be used to assess a patient's volume responsiveness when they are breathing on their own.
Interventions
- Diagnostic test Carotid Artery Corrected Flow Time measurement
* The cFT is defined as the time between the onset of systolic flow until closure of the aortic valve corrected for the HR and has been found to correlate with the intravascular volume. * carotid ultrasound imaging will be performed 10 minutes before induction of general anesthesia in the preoperative holding area. * Ultrasound measurements will be performed under a vascular setting with a 6.0 to 13.0MHz linear array transducer * The right common carotid artery cFT will be measured in supine pos - Diagnostic test Inferior vena cava collapsibility index
* The IVC will be examined while the patient has been spontaneously, quietly breathing and lying in the supine position for at least 5 min before assessment. * A two-dimensional image of the IVC as it entered the right atrium will be obtained through the paramedian long-axis view via a subcostal approach using a curvilinear phased array probe (2-5 MHz) * Then, using M-mode imaging produced at a medium sweep speed, changes in IVC diameter with breathing will be evaluated 2 to 3 cm distal to the r
