Evaluation of the Normal Inferior Vena Cava Diameters in Sudanese’s by Multidetector Computed Tomography
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 4
Abstract
Knowledge of the normal Diameters of the Inferior Vena Cava is important regarding the detection of the abnormal and valuable in the treatment of patients with treatment of patients suffering from traumatic shock. The study was undertaken to evaluate, through computerized tomography, the diameters of the Inferior Vena Cava, as well as they, are connected to gender, age, and body surface area. A retrospective cohort study was performed at included 72 patients (41 males and 31 females) with a mean age of 47.2 years consecutive adults free of cardiac or aortic structural disease or arrhythmia who referred for abdominal CT scanning in the radiology department of Royal Care Hospital in Khartoum- Sudan during the period from August 2015 to May 2018. Anteroposterior (AP) and transverse (TV) diameters of the IVC were measured at the level of the renal vein. This study revealed that the mean± standard deviation (SD) of the anteroposterior (AP) diameter of the IVC in men measured was 25.471.69 mm, 24.151.58 in women. The mean± standard deviation (SD) of the transverse (TV) diameters, measured were 14.111.46 mm. in women and 15.31121.49919mm in men. It concluded that normal dimensions IVC by CT scan was established and correlated with age and gender, The information provided in this study will allow radiologists to detect and accurately characterize IVC abnormalities to guide clinical decision making and improve patient care. Recognition of IVC processes is essential to patient treatment, Future studies should focus on multicenter enrollment.
