Summary

The most common methods for prevention of post-induction hypotension are preoperative fluid loading and vasopressors. Leg elevation induces an intrinsic transfusion of 150 mL blood from the lower limbs to the central fluid compartment. Leg elevation was previously reported by our group to decrease the incidence of maternal hypotension after spinal anesthesia for caesarean delivery. Passive leg raising was also reported to provide a stable hemodynamic profile during induction of anesthesia for cardiac surgery. Head-down position was previously reported as a useful measure for management of hypovolemia in various patient groups. No studies to the best of our knowledge had evaluated the compare both positions (leg elevation position and head-down position) during induction of anesthesia in non-cardiac surgery

Conditions

  • Post-induction Hypotension

Interventions

OTHER

head down position

Head-down position will be achieved by 30 degrees tilting of the whole operating table 1-minute before induction of anesthesia. The position will be maintained for 15 minutes after induction of anesthesia

OTHER

leg elevation position

Leg elevation position will be achieved by raising the patient legs for 30 cm using two standard pillows positioned under the heels 1-minute before induction of anesthesia. The position will be maintained for 15 minutes after induction of anesthesia
