Shock Indexes and Low Blood Pressure After Spinal for Cesarean
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 study uses non-invasive methods to predict low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia during planned C-sections. It may help your care team take steps to prevent complications.
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 measures how the main leg vein changes size with body position in pregnant women getting spinal anesthesia. The goal is to see if this predicts drops in blood pressure, helping doctors plan safer anesthesia.
