Ultrasound showdown: which scan best predicts fluid danger in prostate surgery?
NCT ID NCT07164638
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will compare two ultrasound techniques—lung ultrasound and inferior vena cava collapsibility index—to see which one can predict fluid overload earlier in men undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Sixty male patients scheduled for TURP under spinal anesthesia will be monitored during surgery. The goal is to find a better way to spot fluid buildup before it becomes a problem.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better predict and prevent fluid overload during prostate surgery, improving patient safety.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all patients or settings, and the techniques may not be widely adopted.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Male patient * American Society of Anesthesiologists classification II-III * scheduled for Transurethral resection of the prostate syndrome under spinal anesthesia. Exclusion Criteria: * Patient refusal. * Uncooperative patients. * Patients with major respiratory, cardiac, renal or hepatic disorders. * Patients whose ultrasound did not clearly show the inferior vena cava as (morbidly obese patients or patients with moderate to marked ascites). * Patients who have contraindications to spinal anesthesia (neurological disease, severe hypotension, coagulopathy, low fixed cardiac output).
