Predicting low blood pressure during C-section
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a healthy pregnant woman with mild or no health problems (ASA Class 2).
- You must be having regular prenatal check-ups.
- You must be carrying one baby at full term (at least 37 weeks).
- Your age must be between 18 and 45.
- You cannot have certain serious conditions like preeclampsia, heart disease, or bleeding disorders.
- You cannot be having an emergency C-section.

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 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 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 tests whether checking the pupil's response to light before spinal anesthesia can predict who will develop dangerously low blood pressure during a planned C-section. If it works, doctors could take steps to prevent it.
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 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.
