Predicting low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia for C-section
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a simple ultrasound measurement of blood flow in your neck can help predict if your blood pressure might drop during spinal anesthesia for a C-section. This could help doctors prevent dizziness and other side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be pregnant with a full-term baby (at least 37 weeks).
- You must be overall healthy, apart from being pregnant.
- You must be having a planned (not emergency) C-section under spinal anesthesia.
- You must not have conditions like gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, preeclampsia, heart or blood vessel disease, or kidney disease.

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.
This study checks if a simple pupil light reflex test can predict a drop in blood pressure after spinal anesthesia during elective C-sections. If it works, doctors could better manage blood pressure and reduce dizziness or nausea.
This study uses an ultrasound to measure blood flow in the neck to predict if a pregnant woman will experience low blood pressure or a headache after receiving spinal anesthesia for a planned cesarean section. The goal is to help doctors better manage these common side effects.
This study tests a non-invasive blood pressure monitor during cesarean section under spinal anesthesia to see if it predicts low blood pressure after the procedure, which could help prevent dizziness and fainting.
This study checks if a simple neck ultrasound before your cesarean can predict if your blood pressure will drop during spinal anesthesia. This could help doctors prevent dizziness or low blood pressure during surgery.
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.
