The internal jugular vein (IJV) collapsibility index has been proposed as a practical alternative of of the inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVC-CI), as it is easily accessible using bedside ultrasonography. Several studies have demonstrated a correlation between IJV collapsibility and central venous pressure as well as right atrial pressure.
Patients aged ≥ 60 years.
Scheduled for elective laparoscopic colorectal surgeries under general anesthesia.
Patients' refusal of procedure or participation in the study.
Severe aortic stenosis, irregular ventricular rhythm (atrial fibrillation or frequent premature ventricular contractions), or any contraindication to perform passive leg raise (PLR).
