Elderly patients with painless colonoscopy often complain listlessness, fatigue when they left postanesthesia care unit (PACU). These patients also commonly occur hypotension during anesthesia. However, intravenous infusion and blood volume assessment are seldom performed in elderly patients. Therefore, we aimed to observe the effect of intravenous infusion and to explore the value of inferior vena cava diameter (IVCD) measurement by ultrasound in rapid recovery.
