Predicting low blood pressure after major surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how to predict low blood pressure in the recovery room (PACU) after certain major surgeries. It may help the surgical team recognize risk earlier so they can respond sooner to protect you during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 45 or older
- You are scheduled for open colorectal, liver/gallbladder, or vascular surgery
- Your doctors expect to place an arterial line (a thin tube in an artery) during surgery
- You expect to stay in the PACU recovery area for at least 2 hours
- You can sign a consent form to join the study

This study tests special ways of analyzing blood-pressure recordings during major surgery to better understand why some people develop low blood pressure (hypotension). If you have high blood pressure and need invasive blood-pressure monitoring, your surgery team will use readings to study patterns that may help predict or prevent low blood pressure.
This study tests a new tool that warns doctors when your blood pressure might drop during lung surgery. If it works well, it could help prevent complications and keep you safer during the operation.
This trial tests a tool that predicts drops in blood pressure during major abdominal surgery. It may help doctors manage blood pressure better during and after surgery.
This trial tests a new method to monitor blood pressure during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It is for people at higher risk for stroke or other brain blood vessel issues.
This trial is testing a non-invasive device that predicts low blood pressure during surgery. It aims to help doctors prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure, making surgery safer for patients.
This trial tests a new monitoring tool that predicts drops in blood pressure before they happen during major aortic surgery. It may help doctors keep your blood pressure more stable during the procedure.
