Predicting blood pressure drops during voice box exams
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a simple finger sensor can predict sudden drops in blood pressure when you get anesthesia for a procedure to view your voice box. This could help doctors keep your blood pressure steadier and safer during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 simple leg-raising test during ultrasound of the neck arteries can predict if blood pressure will drop after anesthesia starts. This could help doctors prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure during surgery.
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.
