Association of infraclavicular axillary vein diameter and collapsibility index with general anesthesia-induced hypotension in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery: an observational study

Abstract Background The collapse index of inferior Vena Cava (IVC) and its diameter are important predictive tools for fluid responsiveness in patients, especially critically ones. The collapsibility of infraclavicular axillary vein (AXV) can be used as an alternative to the collapsibility of IVC (I...
