Inferior vena cava respiratory variability changes during jet ventilation in rigid bronchoscopy: a prospective self-controlled study.
Observational study in BMC anesthesiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundInferior vena cava (IVC) respiratory variability is widely used to assess volume status and fluid responsiveness, but its interpretation depends on the physiological context. During rigid bronchoscopy, jet ventilation creates a distinct ventilatory environment, and its impact on IVC-derived indices remains unclear.
methodsThis prospective self-controlled observational study included 60 adult patients undergoing rigid bronchoscopy under general anesthesia. Measurements were obtained at three predefined time points: awake baseline (T0), mask-assisted positive-pressure ventilation during induction (T1), and stable intraoperative jet ventilation (T2). IVC parameters were assessed using M-mode ultrasonography. The primary outcome was the paired change in IVC distensibility index (dIVC) between T1 and T2.
resultsdIVC decreased significantly from T1 to T2 (86.29 ± 35.09% vs. 22.08 ± 12.86%, P < 0.001). The mean paired change (ΔdIVC) was - 64.22 ± 35.84%, corresponding to a large effect size (Cohen's d = 1.79). This change was accompanied by an increase in IVCmin and a reduction in absolute IVC diameter variation. In contrast, heart rate and mean arterial pressure remained stable.
conclusionsIVC-derived respiratory variability changed markedly after transition from mask-assisted positive-pressure ventilation to open jet ventilation during rigid bronchoscopy. This observation suggests that IVC-derived indices are sensitive to ventilation mode and airway openness, and should not be interpreted as direct evidence of intravascular volume status or fluid responsiveness in this setting. Conventional IVC thresholds derived from spontaneous breathing or closed positive-pressure ventilation should therefore be applied with caution during open jet ventilation.
