Carotid ultrasound to predict low blood pressure after anesthesia
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether an ultrasound of the carotid artery in your neck, done before surgery, can help predict drops in blood pressure after you go to sleep for your operation. The goal is to improve safety for patients having non-cardiac surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are generally healthy or have mild health issues (ASA I or II).
- You are scheduled for a planned, non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
- You do not have significant narrowing of the carotid artery (over 50%).
- You do not have moderate to severe heart valve disease, atrial fibrillation, or advanced heart failure.

This study looks at whether people who have low blood pressure after eating are also more likely to have low blood pressure after starting general anesthesia. It may help doctors better predict and manage blood pressure drops during non-heart surgeries in older adults.
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 non-invasive monitor (PVI) can predict drops in blood pressure after anesthesia starts in patients having voice box surgery. If you qualify, you may help improve safety during anesthesia.
This study tests whether a simple ultrasound of the neck's blood vessels, combined with a leg-raising maneuver, can help predict low blood pressure after you go under anesthesia for gastrointestinal tumor surgery. It aims to make anesthesia safer and more personalized.
This trial tests if noninvasive blood pressure cuff measurements before surgery can help predict low blood pressure during surgery for people having non-cardiac surgery.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how much the veins in your leg and belly collapse when you breathe, to see if this can predict a drop in blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for prostate surgery. If you are eligible, you may help doctors better manage your blood pressure during surgery.
