Ultrasound neck vein test to predict blood pressure drops during anesthesia
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a quick ultrasound of a neck vein can help predict if your blood pressure will drop when anesthesia starts. This might help doctors manage blood pressure more safely during gallbladder surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are scheduled for gallbladder removal surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) with general anesthesia.
- You do not have severe obesity (BMI over 35).
- You do not have serious heart rhythm problems, advanced heart failure, or severe heart valve disease.
- You have not had neck surgery or any condition that prevents scanning the neck vein.

This study tests whether checking how much the jugular vein (a vein in the neck) collapses can help predict drops in blood pressure during surgery. It's for older adults having laparoscopic colon or rectal surgery.
This study looks at whether a simple ultrasound of a neck vein can help predict if your blood pressure will drop too low during spinal anesthesia for your C-section. The goal is to make delivery safer and more comfortable for you and your baby.
This study uses ultrasound to look at a vein in your neck before and after major abdominal surgery to understand how surgery affects your kidneys. Researchers hope this simple imaging technique might help predict and prevent kidney problems after surgery.
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 study uses ultrasound pictures of a large neck vein to help doctors place a central line and estimate the pressure inside the vein. It may improve the safety and accuracy of placing the line and reduce the need for more invasive pressure measurements.
This study checks if a simple ultrasound of the neck's blood vessels can predict a sudden drop in blood pressure when you go under general anesthesia for a non-heart surgery. It may help doctors prevent and manage low blood pressure during procedures.
