Using ultrasound to assess blood loss after gynecological 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 prospective cohort study aims to evaluate intra-abdominal blood volume and hemodynamic status in women undergoing gynecological surgery by measuring the diameter of the inferior vena cava (IVC) using advanced ultrasound techniques within 24 hours post-surgery. The study will investigate the relationship between ultrasound findings and various postoperative outcomes, including hemoglobin drop, blood transfusion needs, pain levels, infection rates, and length of hospital stay. Approximately 250 women undergoing laparotomy, laparoscopy, or vaginal surgery at Holy Family Hospital will be enrolled, with the goal of developing reference normograms for fluid volume and IVC parameters to enhance postoperative care.
