Predicting low blood pressure during head and neck flap surgery
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at a way to predict low blood pressure during head and neck free flap surgery (when tissue is moved from one place to another). If successful, it may help the surgical team prevent complications by preparing earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You can sign a written informed consent form
- You must be at least 18 years old
- You are not currently pregnant

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 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 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.
This study is testing a new tool called the Hypotension Prediction Index to help predict and prevent dangerously low blood pressure during surgery. It may be especially helpful for older, frail patients having long abdominal surgeries.
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 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.
