IVC collapsibility monitoring during lumbar stabilization surgery
Official title: Hemodynamic Assessment Using the Inferior Vena Cava Collapsibility Index in Patients Undergoing Lumbar Stabilization Surgery
Run by Trabzon Kanuni Education and Research Hospital · NCT07549165 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study will see if ultrasound measurements of the inferior vena cava (IVC) collapsibility can show changes in fluid status during lumbar spine stabilization surgery in adults.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18 years) with ASA physical status I–III scheduled for elective lumbar stabilization under general anesthesia who can obtain adequate IVC ultrasound images and have BMI ≤30 kg/m².
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with ASA IV, severe heart failure (EF <40%), pulmonary hypertension (PAP >40 mmHg), obesity (BMI >30 kg/m²), intra-abdominal pathology or ascites, pregnancy, emergency or revision surgery, or inability to obtain adequate IVC imaging are unlikely to benefit.

What this trial studies
This prospective observational study uses bedside ultrasonography to measure IVC diameter and calculate the IVC collapsibility index at predefined perioperative time points in adults having elective lumbar stabilization under general anesthesia in the prone position. Measurements will be taken preoperatively, after induction of anesthesia, and before extubation, with additional intraoperative timing as feasible. Routine hemodynamic data such as blood pressure and heart rate will be recorded in parallel. The IVC diameter and collapsibility index will be analyzed to track intravascular volume changes across the perioperative period.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, IVC collapsibility could provide a simple, non-invasive bedside tool to monitor intravascular volume and help guide fluid management during lumbar spine surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown IVC collapsibility can correlate with intravascular volume in some settings, but its accuracy and reliability during prone lumbar spine surgery under general anesthesia are not well established.
