Neck Vein Ultrasound and Kidney Function After Abdominal Surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to look at a vein in your neck before and after major abdominal surgery to understand how surgery affects your kidneys. Researchers hope this simple imaging technique might help predict and prevent kidney problems after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Planned (elective or urgent) major abdominal surgery lasting more than 1 hour under general anesthesia
- General anesthesia started with propofol (a common IV medication)
- Blood pressure monitored continuously during surgery with either an arterial line or regular cuff
- Recent kidney function test results (blood creatinine and eGFR) from the past 30 days
- Ability to be reached by phone 30 days after surgery
- Willingness to sign written consent before surgery

This study tests whether checking how much the jugular vein (a vein in the neck) collapses can help predict drops in blood pressure during surgery. It's for older adults having laparoscopic colon or rectal surgery.
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 tests whether using ultrasound before the second attempt at placing a needle into a neck vein makes the procedure safer and more successful. It helps doctors find the best spot for the needle without guesswork.
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 tests whether a quick ultrasound of a neck vein can help predict if your blood pressure will drop when anesthesia starts. This might help doctors manage blood pressure more safely during gallbladder surgery.
This study uses ultrasound pictures of a large neck vein to help doctors place a central line and estimate the pressure inside the vein. It may improve the safety and accuracy of placing the line and reduce the need for more invasive pressure measurements.
