Hypotension (MAP< 55 mm of Hg) during general anesthesia lasting for even short periods of time can lead to major adverse events (MAE) in the postoperative period. 1 Hypotension following induction of general anesthesia can be made less likely by a) using proper dosing and rate of administration of specific drugs tailored to the patient’s preoperative status and b) prophylactic administration of fluids and vasoactive medications to patients identified as high risk for developing hemodynamic instability during induction. In this context, the study published in the current issue of Anesthesiology,“Inferior Vena Cava Ultrasonography prior to General Anesthesia can Predict Hypotension after Induction.” is of clinical relevance. 2 The authors conclude that preoperative scanning of Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) with point of care ultrasound and assessment of IVC collapsibility index (IVC-CI) can reliably predict hypotension (defined as MAP< 60mm of Hg or a 30% mean blood pressure, MBP, decrease from baseline) following induction in 75% of patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III undergoing surgery. Hypotension was predicted when IVC-CI was greater than 43%. Assessment of IVC size alone was less clinically useful, due to the reason that too many patients were in the unpredictable or gray zone (59%).Currently, we use static parameters such as central venous pressure, pulmonary artery pressure as well as dynamic markers of fluid responsiveness such as delta stroke volume, delta cardiac index, pulse pressure variation and plethysmographic variations in the perioperative period to assess and optimize fluid status. Measurement of these parameters necessitates an invasive procedure (arterial line, central line or pulmonary arterial
