How the IVC changes during back stabilization surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study measures a large vein in your belly (the IVC) during planned lumbar spine stabilization surgery to understand how it responds to the surgery. The goal is to improve how doctors monitor your blood circulation during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are at least 18 years old
- You are scheduled for elective (planned, not emergency) lumbar spine stabilization surgery under general anesthesia
- Your overall health is in categories I, II, or III (according to the anesthesia risk scale)
- Your blood pressure is stable (between 90 and 180 mmHg)
- You do not have a heart condition with ejection fraction below 40% or pulmonary artery pressure above 40 mmHg

This trial tests a new way to manage fluids during abdominal surgery by using ultrasound to check the internal jugular vein in your neck. The goal is to see if this approach reduces complications after surgery.
This study looks at whether different types of obesity affect pressure inside the belly and blood loss during major lower back surgery. The goal is to help doctors predict and reduce bleeding risks in people having spine operations.
This study uses an ultrasound to measure the size of a vein in your leg before surgery to see if it can predict a drop in blood pressure during the procedure. If you are over 60 and having planned lower-limb surgery with spinal anesthesia, this non-invasive test might help your doctors prepare for your care.
This study uses ultrasound to look at blood flow in veins near the liver and spleen shortly after surgery. It helps doctors understand how well these veins are working in patients who are in the intensive care unit, which may guide better care.
This study uses ultrasound to measure changes in a large vein near the heart before cardiac surgery. It may help doctors better understand how the heart is working before the procedure.
This trial tests whether measuring pressure changes in your veins and arteries during surgery can help doctors give you the right amount of fluids. It may reduce complications and improve recovery after liver surgery.
