FUJIFILM Sonosite's Edge II was recently used in a study aimed at evaluating and comparing the diagnostic accuracy of preoperative ultrasonography (USG) measurement of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and subclavian vein (SCV) for predicting PIH following induction of general anaesthesia (GA) in patients undergoing abdominopelvic surgeries.
Post-induction hypotension (PIH) jeopardises vital organ perfusion and is associated with perioperative morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of preoperative ultrasonography (USG) measurement of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and subclavian vein (SCV) for predicting PIH following induction of general anaesthesia (GA) in patients undergoing abdominopelvic surgeries.
