Summary

This study looks at whether a simple ultrasound test can help doctors monitor blood volume changes in patients having lower back surgery. About 128 adults will have their blood vessels measured before, during, and after surgery. The goal is to find a non-invasive way to predict drops in blood pressure and improve patient safety.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Adult patients (≥18 years) scheduled for elective lumbar spine stabilization surgery under general anesthesia at Trabzon University Faculty of Medicine Hospital will be included in this study. All participants will be classified as ASA physical status I-II-III and will undergo surgery in the prone position. Inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and collapsibility index will be measured using ultrasonography at predefined perioperative time points.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.
