Checking a neck vein to predict blood pressure drops during C-section
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a simple ultrasound of a neck vein can help predict if your blood pressure will drop too low during spinal anesthesia for your C-section. The goal is to make delivery safer and more comfortable for you and your baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy).
- You are at least 28 weeks pregnant.
- You are scheduled for a planned or semi-urgent C-section (not an emergency).
- You will receive spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine in your back) rather than general anesthesia.
- You do not have significant kidney or heart problems.

This trial uses ultrasound to check your internal jugular vein, which may help predict if your blood pressure will drop during spinal anesthesia. It aims to find better ways to keep you safe during surgery.
This study looks at how the size and collapsibility of a vein in the neck changes after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. It compares women with preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy) to healthy women to see if this vein measurement can help predict who might have low blood pressure after the anesthesia.
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 study builds a tool to predict if blood pressure will drop during a planned cesarean with spinal anesthesia, using heart rate, blood pressure, and other non-invasive monitors. If you participate, the team will track your vital signs during the procedure to help improve safety and comfort for future mothers.
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 checks if a simple neck ultrasound before your cesarean can predict if your blood pressure will drop during spinal anesthesia. This could help doctors prevent dizziness or low blood pressure during surgery.
