Fluid therapy guided by vein ultrasound in preeclampsia
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with preeclampsia (a serious condition with high blood pressure and protein in urine during pregnancy).
- You are critically ill and scheduled for a cesarean section (C-section).
- You do not have a severe heart condition, such as a weak heart pump or significant heart valve problems.
- You can safely receive spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine in your back).
- You do not have severe liver or kidney disease.

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 compares two ways of using ultrasound to look at the airway in women with severe preeclampsia who need a C-section under general anesthesia. It aims to find which technique is better, so doctors can prepare more safely for your breathing tube placement.
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.
This study measures blood vessel–related markers in pregnant people who already have high blood pressure or early preeclampsia. The goal is to predict who is more likely to get worse, so care can be better targeted.
This study uses lung ultrasound to see if women with severe preeclampsia have too much fluid in their lungs, which could help guide treatment. It may help decide who needs closer monitoring or faster delivery.
This trial checks if an ultrasound test of the neck vein can predict dangerous drops in blood pressure during cesarean delivery in women with preeclampsia. This could help doctors prevent complications.
