Observational study evaluates subclavian versus inferior vena cava collapsibility index for postinduction hypotension, highlighting ultrasound assessment tools.
Hypotension following induction of general anesthesia (GA) is commonly observed. Ultrasound (US) measurement of collapsibility index (CI) of the inferior vena cava (IVC) for predicting postinduction hypotension has been studied. As there is limited data available comparing the diagnostic accuracy of subclavian vein (SCV) versus IVC-CI, we performed this observational study.
