    • Point of care transthoracic echocardiography for the prediction of post – spinal anesthesia hypotension in elderly patients with cardiac diseases and left ventricular dysfunction
    Authors: Nefeli, Moschovaki; Theodosios, Saranteas; Elen, Spiliotaki;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    In elderly patients with cardiac diseases, changes in cardiovascular physiology diminish cardiovascular reserve and predispose to hemodynamic instability after spinal anesthesia; hence, such patients could be at risk of postoperative complications. Additionally, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is used in clinical practice to evaluate cardiovascular hemodynamics. Therefore, we hypothesized that echocardiographic measurements could display significant diagnostic power in the prediction of post - spinal anesthesia hypotension in elderly patients with cardiac diseases and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LV-EF). Therefore, sixty-one elderly orthopedic-trauma patients were ...
