Sponsor's own description

Modern guidelines have combined both the maximum diameter of IVC at expiration (dIVC max) and the IVCCI to appreciate right atrial pressure (RAP) measurements and consequently to assess intravascular volume status. In fact, IVC diameter \<2.1 cm with IVCCI \>20% (quite inspiration) suggests normal RAP of 3mmHg (range, 0-5mmHg), whereas IVC diameter \>2.1 cm with IVCCI\<20% suggests high RAP of 15mmHg (range, 10-20mmHg). In occasions where the IVC diameter and collapse is not fit the above categories, an intermediate value of 8 mmHg (range, 5-10 mmHg) is applied. From a clinical standpoint, it is conceivable that both measurements must be measured in isolation to enable RAP assessment. To circumvent this limitation the two indices have been consolidated to dIVCmax-to-IVCCI ratio. Although this ratio has been shown high accuracy to predict spinal-induced hypotension in elderly patients with preserved ejection fraction (EF) of the left ventricle (LV), its value in patients with cardiac dysfunction and reduced LV-EF has not been investigated. From the aforementioned, this study sets out to address the role of dIVCmax-to-IVCCI ratio in the prediction as well as in the management of hypotension after spinal anesthesia in elderly orthopaedic patients with reduced LV-EF.
