Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The setting is standard spinal anesthesia and corresponds to our first arm of the study, used as the control sample and statistical reference. During the induction phase, the patient is fitted with non-invasive blood pressure monitoring, three-lead ECG, pulse-oximetry and peripheral intravenous device. Data and vital signs are recorded and an infusion of crystalloid (NaCl 0.9% or Ringer's acetate) is given during the procedure until the beginning of the operation. Total amount of fluid is also recorded before and after the spinal anesthesia.

In addition to the current clinical standard, for the second arm of the study, a trans-thoracic echocardiography is performed before spinal anesthesia, with the aim of assessing the patient's volume status; the exam is performed to assess size and collapsing of the Inferior Vena Cava during breathing cycle. According to different pre-established parameters, the patient is defined as fluid-responsive or unresponsive. If the patient is not responsive, investigators proceed to spinal anesthesia; otherwise they proceed to administration of crystalloid bolus (500 ml of NaCl 0.9% or Hartmann's solution). The patient may receive another bolus so as to reach a non-responsive pattern for echocardiographic evaluation.

Echocardiography

In addition to the current clinical standard, a Trans-Thoracic Echocardiography is performed before spinal anesthesia, with the aim of assessing the patient's volume status; the exam is performed to assess size and collapsing of the Inferior Vena Cava during breathing cycle. According to different pre-established parameters13, the patient is defined as fluid-responsive or unresponsive. If the patient is not responsive, investigators proceed to spinal anesthesia; otherwise they proceed to administration of crystalloid bolus (500 ml of NaCl 0.9% or Hartmann's solution). The patient may receive another bolus so as to reach a non-responsive pattern for echocardiographic evaluation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ultrasound-guided volemic repletion

Intervention Type DEVICE

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
