Internal Jugular Vein Collapsibility to Predict Hypotension in Older Adults Undergoing Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study examines if the collapsibility of the internal jugular vein, measured with bedside ultrasound, can predict intraoperative hypotension in older adults. It compares IJV collapsibility index to hemodynamic events during elective laparoscopic colorectal procedures. Patients are 60 years or older and scheduled for general anesthesia, with certain cardiac and rhythm exclusions. The goal is to see if a simple venous ultrasound metric can help anticipate and potentially prevent drops in blood pressure during surgery.
