Vein collapse test to predict low blood pressure in c-section
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial checks if an ultrasound test of the neck vein can predict dangerous drops in blood pressure during cesarean delivery in women with preeclampsia. This could help doctors prevent complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial checks if low vitamin D levels can make a drop in blood pressure more likely or severe during a C-section with spinal anesthesia. It may help find ways to better monitor or prevent blood pressure problems 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 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 research study uses ultrasound images of a neck vein to predict whether a pregnant person will experience low blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for a planned cesarean section. The goal is to help doctors identify and prevent this common side effect before it happens.
