Ultrasound heart test to predict blood pressure drop during anesthesia
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks if a simple ultrasound test of the heart can predict whether your blood pressure will drop when you go under general anesthesia. If your blood pressure is likely to drop, your care team can be ready to manage it, making your anesthesia safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are in generally good health (classified as ASA I, II, or III before surgery).
- You are scheduled to have surgery with general anesthesia (you will be put to sleep).
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have severe heart or lung conditions, such as severe pulmonary hypertension, severe valve disease, cardiomyopathy, recent heart attack, or a history of heart surgery.
- You have not been taking certain long-term medications like beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, painkillers, sedatives, or tricyclic antidepressants.

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 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 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 checks if a simple ultrasound of the neck's blood vessels can predict a sudden drop in blood pressure when you go under general anesthesia for a non-heart surgery. It may help doctors prevent and manage low blood pressure during procedures.
This study uses ultrasound to check blood vessels before surgery to predict if blood pressure might drop during anesthesia. It aims to help doctors keep patients safer during abdominal surgery.
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.
