Description:Objective:
The aim of this pilot study was to explore if internal jugular vein (IJV) ultrasound studies on agricultural workers in a field-based research setting could assess volume status during a hydration intervention.
Methods:
Performed pre- and post-work shift IJV ultrasounds images on 30 agricultural workers. The IJV collapsibility index: < 39% (euvolemic) or ≥ 39% (hypovolemic).
Results:
13% (2/15) of the water group had an IJV collapsibility index ≥ 39%, and this increased to 19% (3/16) by the end of the work shifts. The electrolyte group did not have any workers start the work shift with an IJV collapsibility index ≥ 39%; however, at the post-shift assessment, 15% (2/13) were hypovolemic.
Conclusion:
IJV ultrasounds may have the potential to be a useful tool to determine volume status in field-based research settings. Further investigation is needed to confirm these findings.
