Brief summary

To evaluate the effects of right lateral tilt and trendelenburg positions on the area of the internal juguler venous cross section, size, and the relationship with the right internal juguler venous carotid artery.

Interventions

The right internal jugulary vein (RIJV) cross-sectional area (CSA) and the anatomical relationship with the carotid artery (CA) will be assessed using a two-dimensional ultrasound machine by an anaesthetist who is experienced in this matter in outpatient facility.The measurement process is planned to last approximately 20 minutes for each person.Measurements will be performed in the doctor's office. All ultrasonography images will be stored, and measurements will be performed later by different
