About

This study is designed for volume assessment in pediatrics during major surgery using non-invasive tools as ultrasonography without the need of invasive techniques avoiding its complications and as a guide for fluid therapy needed for maintaining adequate hemodynamics

Full description

Intravascular volume assessment during surgery is important for maintaining adequate hemodynamics. Methods approved for volume assessment include the use of echocardiography to measure left ventricular end diastolic area (LVEDA), central venous pressure (CVP) and pulmonary artery diastolic pressure (PAD). LVEDA is considered the good predictor for volume status assessment. CVP and PAD are invasive can potentially subject the patient to complications. Recently study performed an ultrasound assessment of the internal jugular vein (IJV) as a useful means of volume status assessment intraoperative under general anesthesia. In the pediatric population, only few studies are carried out to assess the use of ultrasound for intravascular volume assessment. This study will evaluate use of Ultrasonography of IJV in volume assessment in pediatrics will undergo renal transplant surgery and correlate IJV diameter, cross sectional area to CVP and LVEDA.
