Summary

Aim of this study is to determine whether Inferior Vena Cava analyzed by trans-thoracic echocardiography is an effective method to guide titrated fluid repletion in non critical patients, in order both to decrease post procedural significant hypotension rate and to avoid unnecessary fluid overload in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia for elective surgical procedures

Conditions

  • Fluid Overload
  • Anesthesia; Adverse Effect, Spinal and Epidural
  • Regional Anesthesia Morbidity

Interventions

DEVICE

Ultrasound-guided volemic repletion

After echocardiography analysis of Inferior Vena Cava, patient is repleted with a pre-established bolus of fluid (500 ml of crystalloid). After this repletion, patient is analyzed till the exam reach signal of non-responsiveness, previously defined as a reduction of Inferior Vena Cava diameter less than 36% from baseline level during normal breath
