Ultrasound to predict blood pressure drop during prostate surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 75 years old
- You are scheduled for a prostate surgery called TUR-P with spinal anesthesia
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or less
- You do not take certain blood pressure medications (ACE inhibitors or ARBs)
- You do not have serious heart or lung disease, or other conditions listed in the exclusion criteria
