Using internal jugular vein ultrasound to guide fluids during abdominal 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

Adults undergoing abdominal surgery under general anesthesia are randomized to receive intraoperative fluid therapy guided by respiratory variation of the internal jugular vein measured by ultrasound or to receive standard fluid therapy. A trained anesthesiologist will obtain left IJV M-mode measurements at the cricoid level using a Philips CX50 and calculate IJV respiratory variation from three respiratory cycles to guide fluid decisions. The ultrasound operator is not involved in anesthesia management and is separated from monitors to maintain blinding of hemodynamic data while clinicians follow the allocated fluid protocol intraoperatively. Postoperative complications and length of hospital stay are compared between groups to determine whether IJV-guided fluid management reduces adverse events.
