This study was designed to compare the predictive effects of carotid ultrasound measurements and inferior vena cava (IVC) ultrasound measurements on postinduction hypotension (PIH) in older patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Prospective observational study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 102 older adults who were scheduled for elective gastrointestinal surgery were included in the study. Before general anaesthesia induction, maximum IVC diameter (dIVCmax), minimum IVC diameter (dIVCmin), collapsibility index of IVC (IVC-CI), respiratory variation in carotid artery blood flow peak velocity (\u0394Vpeak) and carotid corrected flow time (FTc) were measured by ultrasound. FTc(B) and FTc(W) were calculated by applying Bazett\u2019s formula and Wodey\u2019s formula, respectively. Patients were divided into hypotensive and non-hypotension group according to whether the systolic blood pressure (SBP) decreased more than 30% from the baseline or the absolute value of SBP was less than 90\u2009mm Hg within 15\u2009min after anaesthesia induction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After the induction, hypotension was observed in 49% of the patients. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) of FTc(W), FTc(B) and \u25b3Vpeak for predicting PIH were 0.815, 0.691 and 0.713; the optimal cut-off values were 334.7 ms, 348.3 ms and 6.35%, respectively. The AUROC of IVC-CI, dIVCmax and dIVCmin for predicting PIH were 0.666, 0.680 and 0.702; the optimal cut-off values were 46%, 0.985\u2009cm and 0.635\u2009cm, respectively. The AUC of the FTc(W) was significantly higher than that of the FTc(B) (p=0.003), IVC-CI (p=0.024) and dIVCmax (p=0.046).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The FTc(W) values measured by ultrasonography were more accurate for predicting PIH in the older patients as compared with dIVCmax and IVC-CI.
