Prospective Repeated-Measures Study of Popliteal Vein Diameter During the First 48 Hours After Commercial Air Travel to Bogota for a Plastic Surgery Intervention
2. september 2026 opdateret af: Research Inc
This prospective repeated-measures study will evaluate how long popliteal vein dilation persists after international commercial air travel to Bogota.
Adult medical travelers will undergo standardized bilateral popliteal vein ultrasound within 24 hours before departure, within 2 hours after arrival, and at 24 and 48 hours after arrival, all before surgery.
The primary outcome is change in mean bilateral popliteal vein diameter over time.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
Eligible international travelers will complete a standardized preflight ultrasound and three postarrival examinations before surgery or intravenous fluid therapy.
Each scan will be performed after a fixed resting period using the same popliteal landmark, minimal transducer pressure, and triplicate bilateral measurements.
Flight duration, class, seat characteristics, movement, fluid intake, compression stocking use, and venous risk factors will be recorded.
Mixed-effects analysis will estimate the postflight diameter and cross-sectional-area trajectory and the proportion returning to within 10% of baseline by 48 hours.

|---|---|

Postflight Repeated-Measures Cohort
All participants undergo standardized preflight and postarrival bilateral popliteal vein ultrasound without assignment to a travel intervention.
|
Participants complete a commercial flight of at least 4 hours to Bogota.
Flight duration, connections, cabin class, seat characteristics, movement, fluid intake, alcohol, sedatives, and compression stocking use will be recorded.
Linked arm/group(s): Postflight Repeated-Measures Cohort.
After at least 10 minutes of supine rest, the popliteal vein will be imaged at a fixed landmark with minimal probe pressure.
Anteroposterior and transverse diameters, cross-sectional area, compressibility, and flow will be recorded in both legs, with three repeated measurements averaged.

Change in Mean Bilateral Popliteal Vein Diameter
Tidsramme: Within 24 hours before departure; within 2 hours after arrival at the study site; 24 +/- 2 hours after arrival; and 48 +/- 2 hours after arrival. 1 week
|
At each visit, the mean of three anteroposterior diameter measurements in each leg will be calculated, followed by the mean of both legs.
Change from the participant's preflight value will be reported in millimeters and as percent change.

Within 24 hours before departure; within 2 hours after arrival at the study site; 24 +/- 2 hours after arrival; and 48 +/- 2 hours after arrival. 1 week
