Blood vessel test for safer spinal anesthesia in pregnant women
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study measures how the main leg vein changes size with body position in pregnant women getting spinal anesthesia. The goal is to see if this predicts drops in blood pressure, helping doctors plan safer anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are pregnant with one baby and with a normal, healthy pregnancy.
- Your height is between 5 feet (150 cm) and 5 feet 11 inches (180 cm).

This study tests the smallest amount of IV fluids needed during a planned cesarean to prevent a drop in blood pressure from spinal anesthesia. It may help find a safer, more comfortable approach for mothers.
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 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 study measures blood flow in the carotid artery (a major neck artery) during pregnancy and cesarean delivery. It aims to understand how pregnancy affects blood flow, which may help improve care for mothers.
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.
