Albumin vs. routine care for blood pressure stability during C-section
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a protein solution called albumin helps keep blood pressure stable during a cesarean delivery with spinal anesthesia in women with preeclampsia (a condition of high blood pressure and organ damage). Participants are randomly assigned to receive either albumin or standard care, and their bodies' responses are monitored to see which approach works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 24 weeks pregnant
- Have preeclampsia with severe features (e.g., very high blood pressure, low platelets, liver or kidney problems, or severe headaches)
- Be scheduled for a cesarean delivery (either planned or urgent but not immediate emergency)
- Be getting spinal or combined spinal-epidural anesthesia
- Not be in labor
- Not have conditions that prevent spinal anesthesia (like bleeding problems or infection at the injection site)

This study looks at how the size and collapsibility of a vein in the neck changes after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. It compares women with preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy) to healthy women to see if this vein measurement can help predict who might have low blood pressure after the anesthesia.
This trial compares two medications, dexamethasone (a steroid) and ondansetron (an anti-nausea drug), to see which better prevents low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia during a cesarean section in women with preeclampsia. It aims to find a safer way to keep blood pressure stable during delivery.
This study builds a tool to predict if blood pressure will drop during a planned cesarean with spinal anesthesia, using heart rate, blood pressure, and other non-invasive monitors. If you participate, the team will track your vital signs during the procedure to help improve safety and comfort for future mothers.
This trial tests two medicines given through an IV during a planned cesarean section to prevent a sudden drop in blood pressure (hypotension) after spinal anesthesia. One medicine is called metaraminol and the other is norepinephrine. Both are commonly used to keep blood pressure stable, and the goal is to find out which works better and is safer for mothers and babies.
This study looks at how a pregnant woman's body mass index (BMI) affects the dose of a medicine called norepinephrine, which is given during a cesarean section to prevent low blood pressure. The goal is to find the right dose for each woman to keep her blood pressure stable during the procedure.
This trial compares two medicines, norepinephrine and ephedrine, to see which one works better at keeping blood pressure stable during a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia. It will help doctors choose the safest option for mothers and babies.
