Does anxiety before surgery affect risks from spinal anesthesia?
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether how anxious you feel before surgery affects your risk of a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure (vasovagal event) when you receive spinal anesthesia. Participation may help doctors better understand and prevent these episodes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
