Finding the right fluid amount to prevent low blood pressure in planned C-sections
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks for the smallest safe amount of IV fluid to give during a planned C-section to keep your blood pressure from dropping too low after the spinal anesthetic. Participating may help maintain your comfort and safety during delivery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how the position you are in during spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine for a cesarean section) affects your blood pressure. The goal is to find a better position to reduce the chance of dangerously low blood pressure after the spinal injection.
This study tests a medication called phenylephrine, which helps keep your blood pressure from dropping too low during spinal anesthesia for a planned cesarean section. It compares two positions—lying flat on your back versus tilted to the left—to find the best dose for preventing low blood pressure, which can affect you and your baby.
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 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 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.
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.
