Description of intervention(s) / exposure
73 term pregnant women, older than 18 years undergoing elective cesarean section with spinal anesthesia were included the study. The exclusion criteria were high risk pregnancies who had chronic hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, preterm pregnancy, pre-pregnancy obesity, or history of pregnancy complication and severe medical conditions such as pulmonary, liver and kidney disease.
The women was then transferred to the operating theatre. Non-invasive blood pressure and heart rate was applied with the woman in the supine position with an estimated 15° left lateral table tilt to avoid aortocaval compression by the uterus. After a stabilisation interval of 3–5 min, baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP) and mean blood pressure (MBP) were recorded. We used the non-invasive oscillometric method. After measurements, the antero-posterior internal jugular vein (IJV) diameter was measured using M-mode during a respiratory cycle. In order to avoid changes in vein diameter unrelated to respiratory variation, gentle pressure by the Ultrasonograhy (USG) probe was used to collapse the IJV in order to distinguish it from the carotid artery, then the pressure was relieved to the USG probe-skin interface and attention was given to avoid influence of probe compression on IJV dimensions during the USG examination. Moreover, in order to avoid interference of probeto- vein angle, the IJV evaluation was performed by positioning the probe perpendicular to the skin and oriented orthogonally to the IJV short-axis diameter. Ultrasound measurements of IJV diameter with respiration, which include maximum diameter of the IJV (dIJVmax) at the end of expiration during spontaneous respiration and collapsibility index (CI), have been recorded. The IJV CI (%) was calculated as CI = (dIJVmax – dIJVmin)/dIJVmax and was expressed as percentage. All measurements were made by a single author to eliminate interobserver variability.
Episodes of hypotension in the period after spinal anesthesia were defined by a more than 20% decrease in SBP from the baseline level or any recorded period of MBP lower than 60 mmHg. The MBP reading before IJV USG was defined as baseline.
The duration of observation of each participant was 2 hour.

Statistical methods / analysis
Shapiro Wilk test was used as normality test. Continuous variables were compared using Student t-test and Mann-Whitney U test when the data were not normally distributed. Categorical variables were compared using Pearson’s chi-squared test and Fisher’s exact test. Paired data were analyzed using Paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed rank test when data were not normally distributed. For responses at different time points, percent changes were calculated according to baseline measurement. These percent changes were compared using Mann-Whitney U test for two groups and Kruskal Wallis test more than two groups. Correlations between variables were tested using Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients. A p-value <0.05 was considered as significant. All statistical analyses were performed with IBM SPSS ver. 23.0.

Summary
Brief summary
Background:it has been shown that sonographic determination of the diameter of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is related to central venous pressure and other hemodynamic parameters describing the patient’s volume status. IVC measurements are not possible in 10-15% of patients because of large body size, excessive bowel gas, or large amounts of intrathoracic air. Since internal jugular vein (IJV) imaging does not require transthoracic echocardiography and is technically easier to perform than IVC visualization at pregnant women. This study investigated whether preoperative ultrasound IJV measurements could predict hypotension after spinal anesthesia in pregnant patients undergoing cesarean section.
Methods:A prospective, observational study carried out in patients undergoing cesarean section. In 73 patients, older than 18 years and scheduled for elective cesarean section with spinal anesthesia were included in the study. Maximum diameter of the IJV (dIJVmax) and collapsibility index (CI) were measured preoperatively before spinal anesthesia. Hypotension was defined by a more than 20% decrease in systolic blood pressure from the baseline level or any recorded period of mean blood pressure lower than 60 mmHg.
