Predicting low blood pressure during anesthesia start
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses an ultrasound heart measurement to see if doctors can predict when a patient's blood pressure might drop during the start of general anesthesia. This could help doctors prepare and prevent problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have an ASA physical status of 1, 2, or 3 (a standard health rating by your anesthesiologist)
- You are scheduled for surgery with general anesthesia
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have severe heart or lung conditions, such as severe valve disease, heart muscle disease, or recent heart attack
- You have not been on certain long-term heart medications, painkillers, sedatives, or antidepressants (e.g., beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants)

This study uses ultrasound measurements of the carotid artery and vena cava to predict if older patients might experience low blood pressure after going under general anesthesia for elective surgery. If successful, it could help doctors take preventive steps.
This study uses an ultrasound to measure blood flow in the neck's main artery to see if it can predict a dangerous drop in blood pressure after you are put to sleep for surgery. It is for adult patients with chronic liver disease who are having planned surgery.
This study tests special ways of analyzing blood-pressure recordings during major surgery to better understand why some people develop low blood pressure (hypotension). If you have high blood pressure and need invasive blood-pressure monitoring, your surgery team will use readings to study patterns that may help predict or prevent low blood pressure.
This study tests a computer model that uses heart-rhythm measurements to predict whether your blood pressure will drop dangerously after anesthesia begins. If accurate, it could help doctors prepare and protect you during surgery.
This study looks at whether people who have low blood pressure after eating are also more likely to have low blood pressure after starting general anesthesia. It may help doctors better predict and manage blood pressure drops during non-heart surgeries in older adults.
This trial tests a tool that predicts drops in blood pressure during major abdominal surgery. It may help doctors manage blood pressure better during and after surgery.
