Ultrasound-Guided fluids may shield elderly heart patients from surgery danger
NCT ID NCT06206434
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving fluids right after spinal anesthesia, guided by ultrasound, can prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure in elderly patients with heart disease and dehydration. About 60 participants with mild heart failure and signs of dehydration will be monitored. The goal is to reduce complications during hip fracture surgery.

Inclusion Criteria: * All the included patients have BUN-to-creatinne ratio\>20 * LV-EF between 35% and 50% * Normal RV function indices \[tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) index \> 16 and tricuspid annular systolic velocity (TASV) \> 10 cm/sec and fractional area change (FAC) \> 35%)\] Exclusion Criteria: * Poor acoustic windows, * Tthose who were included during the initial screening, but they finally found with pulmonary hypertension (peak tricuspid velocity \> 3.4 m/sec), tricuspid/mitral/pulmonary valve regurgitation grade 3 or 4, severe aortic/mitral valve stenosis, and severe mitral annulus calcification on the preoperative echocardiogram. * All patients with maximum cephalad dermatomal extension of the spinal sensory block below T12 or arterial hypotension related to overt intraoperative bleeding (\>150 cc) are excluded. * Intraoperrative hypotension due to bleeding and cement placement
