Carotid Doppler Peak Velocity Variation in Liposuction Fluid Management

This ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of procedure subcutaneous infiltration and intravenous fluid by the total aspirate volume during surgery

Patients will be given a fluid maintenance rate of 1.5 ml/kg/h. To determine fluid responsiveness, the carotid artery peak velocity variation (ΔVPeak-CA) will be measured before, during, and after the procedure. If the ΔVPeak-CA goes above 15%, the patient will receive a fluid bolus of lactated ringer solution at a rate of 4-6 ml/kg over 10-15 minutes, and the team will re-measure fluid responsiveness 10 minutes after each ΔVPeaK-CA.
