Predicting high blood pressure during pregnancy in older adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a special blood pressure monitoring tool (called PPV) can help predict a condition called pregnancy-induced hypertension (high blood pressure during pregnancy) in older patients. If you are 65 or older and having planned surgery with an arterial line, you may be eligible to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older.
- Your surgery is scheduled in advance (not an emergency).
- You will have an arterial line placed to monitor your blood pressure continuously during surgery.
- You do not have moderate or severe heart, lung, or endocrine conditions (like heart failure, arrhythmia, COPD, or asthma).
- Your blood pressure and heart rate are within safe limits before surgery (systolic under 160, mean arterial pressure under 110, and heart rate under 120).
- You do not have psychiatric, neurological, or communication issues that would make it hard to interact with the study team.

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 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 tests whether a special computer tool (called the Hypotension Prediction Index) can help anesthesiologists keep your blood pressure from dropping too low during major abdominal surgery. By using this tool, doctors hope to reduce the risk of low blood pressure during surgery and improve safety for older frail 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.
This trial tests a new monitoring tool that predicts drops in blood pressure before they happen during major aortic surgery. It may help doctors keep your blood pressure more stable during the procedure.
