Ultrasound before cesarean to predict drops in blood pressure
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
