Official title

The Value of Internal Jugular Vein Collapsibility Index in Predicting Hypotension Following General Anesthesia Induction in Patients Undergoing Elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Overview

This study aims to investigate whether the Internal Jugular Vein Collapsibility Index (IJV-CI), measured via ultrasonography, can predict hypotension (low blood pressure) that occurs after the induction of general anesthesia. Researchers will measure the diameter of the internal jugular vein in patients before surgery and compare these measurements with the blood pressure changes during the first minutes of anesthesia. The goal is to determine if IJV-CI can be used as a reliable, non-invasive tool to identify patients at higher risk of developing anesthesia-induced hypotension.

Detailed description

Patients aged 18-65 scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia will be included in the study. Exclusion criteria are as follows: Obesity (BMI \> 35 kg/m²), presence of Atrial Fibrillation or serious cardiac arrhythmia, history of neck surgery or any pathology preventing internal jugular vein measurement, advanced heart failure (Ejection Fraction \< 40%), severe valvular disease, peripheral vascular disease, emergency surgery, and refusal to participate in the study.

Upon arrival in the operating room, patients will be placed in a supine position. The Internal Jugular Vein (IJV) diameter will be monitored using a linear ultrasound probe during spontaneous breathing before anesthesia induction. The maximum and minimum diameters of the IJV during the respiratory cycle will be measured. The Internal Jugular Vein Collapsibility Index (IJV-CI) will be calculated using the following formula: \[(IJV maximum diameter - IJV minimum diameter) / IJV maximum diameter\] x 100.

Standard anesthesia induction will be performed. Non-invasive blood pressure and heart rate will be monitored and recorded at baseline (0 min), and at 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 10 minutes following induction. Post-induction hypotension is defined as a decrease in mean arterial pressure (MAP) of more than 20% from the baseline value. The relationship between the pre-induction IJV-CI values and the development of hypotension during these specific time intervals will be statistically analyzed.

Interventions

  • Diagnostic test IJV-CI Measurement
    Pre-induction Internal Jugular Vein (IJV) measurement will be performed using a linear ultrasound probe (5-12 MHz) while the patient is in the supine position. The IJV will be imaged in the transverse plane at the level of the cricoid cartilage. During spontaneous breathing, the maximum and minimum diameters of the vein will be recorded. The Collapsibility Index (IJV-CI) will be calculated using these measurements. This non-invasive assessment is performed immediately before the induction of gen
