About this trial
Venous congestion is common in critically ill postoperative patients and may be associated with adverse outcomes. Doppler ultrasound assessment of venous flow patterns, including portal venous pulsatility, is increasingly used to evaluate systemic venous congestion.
This prospective observational study aims to determine the correlation between portal venous pulsatility and splenic venous pulsatility measured by Doppler ultrasound in adult patients admitted to a postoperative intensive care unit. The study will evaluate whether splenic venous pulsatility may provide additional information for the assessment of venous congestion.
Ultrasound examinations will be performed in addition to standard clinical care, without any therapeutic intervention or modification of patient management.

Trial population
Adult patients admitted to the postoperative intensive care unit after major surgery. Participants will undergo Doppler ultrasound assessment of portal and splenic venous pulsatility during the early postoperative period to evaluate the relationship between venous pulsatility patterns and systemic venous congestion.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Correlation between portal venous pulsatility index (portal PI) and splenic venous pulsatility index (splenic PI) measured by Doppler ultrasound.
The primary outcome is the degree of correlation between portal and splenic venous pulsatility indices assessed during the same ultrasound examination in postoperative critically ill patients.
Time frame
Baseline assessment during the first 72 hours after admission to the postoperative intensive care unit.Locations
