Neck ultrasound to predict low blood pressure during anesthesia
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You should be in good general health or have only mild health issues (ASA I or II).
- You must be scheduled for a non-heart surgery that uses general anesthesia (you'll be put to sleep) and a breathing tube.
- You cannot have significant heart problems (like heart failure, irregular heartbeat, or moderate to severe valve disease).
- You cannot have a major narrowing (more than 50%) in the carotid arteries (blood vessels in your neck).
