This study uses sensors to measure your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels during a planned cesarean delivery. The goal is to create a tool that can predict if your blood pressure might drop during spinal anesthesia, so doctors can prevent it.
This trial looks at whether we can predict which pregnant women will have a sudden drop in blood pressure during a cesarean section. If you're a healthy pregnant woman with a full-term single baby, this study could help improve safety.
This trial uses an ultrasound measurement of blood flow in the neck to predict if a pregnant woman will experience low blood pressure after receiving spinal anesthesia for a C-section. This could help doctors take steps to prevent it.
This trial tests two different spinal anesthesia techniques to see which one better prevents low blood pressure during planned cesarean delivery. It aims to improve safety and comfort for mothers.
This study looks at whether certain simple measurements (called shock indexes) taken before your cesarean delivery can help predict if you might have a drop in blood pressure after you get spinal anesthesia. The goal is to help doctors take better care of moms like you during the surgery.
This trial compares two medicines, norepinephrine and ephedrine, to see which one works better at keeping blood pressure stable during a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia. It will help doctors choose the safest option for mothers and babies.
