Internal Jugular Vein Ultrasound and Acute Kidney Injury After Abdominal Surgery (PRO-JUGULAR)
Dynamic Internal Jugular Vein Assessment During Anesthesia Induction as a Predictor of Hemodynamic Instability and Postoperative Outcomes
This observational study aims to learn whether changes in the internal jugular vein during anesthesia induction can help predict low blood pressure and kidney injury after surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Can the internal jugular vein collapsibility index before anesthesia predict low blood pressure during induction?
- Can the change in internal jugular vein collapsibility from before to just after anesthesia predict low blood pressure during surgery and acute kidney injury after surgery?
Participants will have routine ultrasound scans of the neck before anesthesia and again shortly after they fall asleep for surgery. Researchers will also record blood pressure during surgery and measure kidney function after surgery using routine blood tests. and again shortly after they fall asleep for surgery. Researchers will also record blood pressure during surgery and measure kidney function after surgery using routine blood tests.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving
This is a single-centre prospective observational study of adults undergoing major abdominal or visceral surgery under general anesthesia. The study is designed to see whether bedside ultrasound measurements of the internal jugular vein can help identify participants who are at risk of low blood pressure during anesthesia induction and acute kidney injury after surgery.
Participants will have one ultrasound scan while awake before anesthesia and a second scan shortly after loss of consciousness following propofol induction. The researchers will calculate the internal jugular vein collapsibility index from both scans and determine the change between them. They will then compare these measurements with blood pressure changes during the induction period and with postoperative kidney function, which will be assessed using routine creatinine tests.
The study includes adults aged 18 years and older who are having elective or urgent non-emergency major abdominal or visceral surgery. Participants must receive propofol for anesthesia induction and must have blood pressure monitoring during surgery. People with emergency surgery, dependence on dialysis, major anatomic abnormalities that prevent ultrasound scanning of the neck, or other conditions that would invalidate the ultrasound measurement will not be included.
The study does not change routine anesthesia care. The ultrasound scans and blood tests are added only for research purposes, and the results are intended to help predict risk rather than guide treatment during the study itself.

Propofol Peri-induction IJV cohort
Prospective observational cohort of adult patients undergoing elective or urgent non-emergent major abdominal or visceral surgery under general anesthesia with propofol induction.
Participants will undergo pre-induction and immediate post-induction internal jugular vein ultrasound measurements to evaluate whether changes in internal jugular vein collapsibility predict post-induction hypotension and postoperative acute kidney injury.
|
Point-of-care Internal jugular vein ultrasound performed before induction and immediately after propofol induction to measure vein diameter and collapsibility index.
