Predicting low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia for C-sections
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses non-invasive methods to predict low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia during planned C-sections. It may help your care team take steps to prevent complications.

This research study uses ultrasound images of a neck vein to predict whether a pregnant person will experience low blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for a planned cesarean section. The goal is to help doctors identify and prevent this common side effect before it happens.
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 study looks at whether certain simple measurements (called shock indexes) taken before your cesarean delivery can help predict if you might have a drop in blood pressure after you get spinal anesthesia. The goal is to help doctors take better care of moms like you during the surgery.
This trial checks if low vitamin D levels can make a drop in blood pressure more likely or severe during a C-section with spinal anesthesia. It may help find ways to better monitor or prevent blood pressure problems during surgery.
This trial uses an ultrasound measurement of blood flow in the neck to predict if a pregnant woman will experience low blood pressure after receiving spinal anesthesia for a C-section. This could help doctors take steps to prevent it.
This trial looks at whether we can predict which pregnant women will have a sudden drop in blood pressure during a cesarean section. If you're a healthy pregnant woman with a full-term single baby, this study could help improve safety.
