Checks blood-pressure drops during major upper stomach surgery
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies what happens when blood pressure drops during planned (elective) major upper gastrointestinal surgery and looks at related blood chemistry. Your care team may collect samples during the operation to understand why this happens and how to improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for elective (planned) major upper gastrointestinal surgery
- The surgery you’re having will be done using laparoscopy (keyhole surgery)
- You are having surgery in the “upper GI” area (like the stomach or upper intestines)

This trial tests a new method (called HPI) to prevent dangerously low blood pressure during planned heart surgery. It is for adults having bypass surgery or valve surgery, but not for those with certain heart rhythm problems or needing emergency surgery.
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 if noninvasive blood pressure cuff measurements before surgery can help predict low blood pressure during surgery for people having non-cardiac surgery.
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 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.
