Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Group A  To prevent hypotension after spinal anesthesia, the patient is preloaded with crystalloid (Ringers Lactate) 15 ml/kg prior to and until the beginning of the spinal anesthesia. After spinal anesthesia, crystalloids are administered based on standard calculated maintenance rates. In the event of significant hypotension in spite of fluid administration, judicious pharmacological intervention with the vasopressor, ephedrine, would be administered based on clinical judgment to keep Systolic Blood Pressure more than 90 mm Hg 
Intervention  Group B  A baseline trans-abdominal Ultrasonography is performed prior to spinal anesthesia to measure the IVC Diameter (IVC Dmax) and IVC Collapsibility Index (IVC–CI). The patient is deemed as adequate or depleted volume status, based on predetermined parameters of IVC Dmax and IVC - CI. The patient will be preloaded with crystalloid (Ringers Lactate) 15 ml/kg as a standard of care similar to Group A. After preloading for over 10 minutes, IVC Dmax and IVC-CI are recorded. If volume status is found to be depleted, the patient is given a bolus of 500 ml Ringers Lactate over 10 minutes and IVC Dmax and IVC-CI are re-assessed. This assessment will be done every 10 minutes. Spinal anesthesia will be administered only after the patient is deemed fluid adequate. IVC Dmax and IVC-CI will be recorded at 10, 20 and 30 minutes after spinal anesthesia. If volume status is found to be depleted again after spinal anesthesia, the patient is given a bolus of 500 ml Ringer’s Lactate over 10 minutes and IVC Dmax and IVC-CI are reassessed along with non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitoring. In the event of significant hypotension in spite of fluid administration, judicious pharmacological intervention with the vasopressor, ephedrine, would be administered based on clinical judgment to keep Systolic Blood Pressure more than 90 mm Hg.

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   Data will be analysed to evaluate the efficacy of IVC diameter and IVC collapsibility index as a noninvasive measure of the volume status of patients and its usefulness, if any, in preventing significant hypotension in patients undergoing elective surgery under spinal anaesthesia
