Albumin vs. standard care for blood pressure in preeclampsia during C-section
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving a protein called albumin helps keep blood pressure stable during a C-section under spinal anesthesia for women with severe preeclampsia. You would be randomly assigned to receive albumin or the usual care, and your heart function will be monitored non-invasively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 24 weeks pregnant
- You have a diagnosis of preeclampsia with severe features (like very high blood pressure, low platelets, or kidney problems)
- You are scheduled for a C-section or need an unscheduled one that can wait at least 30 minutes
- You will receive spinal or combined spinal-epidural anesthesia
- You are not in active labor and do not have any condition that makes spinal anesthesia unsafe (like bleeding problems or infection at the injection site)

This trial is testing a way to give fluids before C-section to women with severe preeclampsia. It uses an ultrasound measure of the big vein in your belly (the inferior vena cava) to help decide how much fluid is safe, which may reduce complications.
This study looks at how often blood pressure problems happen during planned or semi-urgent C-sections in women with pre-eclampsia. It may help doctors better manage care for mothers like you.
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 study tests a new blood-filtering device (KNP-1000) to help manage severe preeclampsia, a serious high blood pressure condition during pregnancy. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help stabilize your blood pressure, possibly allowing you to stay pregnant longer.
This trial compares two medications, metaraminol and norepinephrine, given as a continuous infusion during a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia to prevent dangerously low blood pressure. The goal is to see which one works better for keeping your blood pressure stable.
This trial studies whether using specific blood-pressure medicines can help people with non-severe preeclampsia stay pregnant longer. It aims to improve outcomes by treating blood pressure early while monitoring you and the baby closely.
