PURPOSEThis study was conducted to estimate the incidence of hypotension after spinal anaesthesia after inferior vena cava ultrasound (IVCUS) guided volaemic optimization compared with a control group in patients undergoing elective surgery. According to ESICM guidelines, hypotension was defined as two systolic arterial pressure (SAP) measurements < 80 mmHg and / or a mean arterial pressure (MAP) < 60 mmHg, or a drop in SAP of more than 50 mmHg or more than 25% from baseline, or a decrease in MA...
