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 compares two forms of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) given through a spinal shot before a planned C-section. It aims to see which one causes less of a drop in blood pressure after the medicine is given.
This study tests if giving hydrocortisone (a type of steroid) or ondansetron (an anti-nausea drug) before spinal anesthesia can better prevent low blood pressure during surgery for your belly or lower leg.
This study tests if a low dose of ketamine (a pain medicine) given before spinal anesthesia can prevent dangerously low blood pressure during orthopedic surgery. It might help keep your blood pressure steady, making the procedure safer.
This study looks at a new way to predict if your blood pressure will drop during spinal anesthesia for hernia surgery. It may help doctors prevent dizziness or fainting during the procedure.
This trial is testing a way to keep blood pressure lower on purpose during spinal surgery. This might help reduce blood loss and the need for blood transfusions during the operation. If you are having a specific type of spinal surgery and are generally healthy, you may be a good fit.
