Ultrasound test before brain surgery anesthesia
This trial uses ultrasound to measure blood flow and fluid levels in the body before brain surgery. It aims to help doctors manage fluids better during and after anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 looks at whether using ultrasound to check the neck arteries before surgery can help doctors predict and prevent low blood pressure during hip replacement surgery done with spinal anesthesia. If you are 65 or older and having this surgery, this could help make your procedure safer.
This study uses ultrasound, a non-invasive imaging test, to measure the large vein that returns blood to the heart. This helps doctors decide how much fluid to give patients with a head injury to improve recovery.
This trial tests whether using a heart ultrasound before surgery can help doctors better manage your blood volume. If you are having surgery under general anesthesia and have a higher risk of heart problems, this study may help improve your safety.
This study uses ultrasound to measure changes in a large vein near the heart before cardiac surgery. It may help doctors better understand how the heart is working before the procedure.
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.
