Predicting low blood pressure during spinal anesthesia
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with a full-term baby (at least 37 weeks).
- You have a physical status of II according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (meaning you have a mild systemic disease, like well-controlled diabetes or high blood pressure, but not severe).
- You are not having an emergency C-section.
- You are having a C-section under spinal anesthesia (not general anesthesia).
- You do not have gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, or any heart, brain, or chronic 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 trial tests whether checking the pupil's response to light before spinal anesthesia can predict who will develop dangerously low blood pressure during a planned C-section. If it works, doctors could take steps to prevent it.
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 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 uses sensors to measure your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels during a planned cesarean delivery. The goal is to create a tool that can predict if your blood pressure might drop during spinal anesthesia, so doctors can prevent it.
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.
