Lying on your side after spinal anesthesia for safe blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether lying on your side after spinal anesthesia (numbing injection in your back) helps keep blood pressure stable during leg surgery. It is designed for older adults (65+) who are at higher risk for anesthesia complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 65 years or older.
- Be classified as high-risk for anesthesia (ASA III or IV).
- Be scheduled for surgery on one leg, such as a hip, femur, or knee procedure.
- Be able to receive spinal anesthesia (numbing injection in the back).
- Not have severe spinal problems, bleeding risks, or uncontrolled heart/blood pressure conditions.
- Be able to give informed consent and follow study instructions.

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 tests if a low dose of ketamine (a pain medicine) given before spinal anesthesia can prevent dangerously low blood pressure during orthopedic surgery. It might help keep your blood pressure steady, making the procedure safer.
This study tests a simple heart and blood pressure measurement to predict if blood pressure will drop after spinal anesthesia for hernia repair. It may help doctors prevent dizziness or fainting during surgery.
This study looks at whether using ultrasound to check the neck arteries before surgery can help doctors predict and prevent low blood pressure during hip replacement surgery done with spinal anesthesia. If you are 65 or older and having this surgery, this could help make your procedure safer.
This study looks at how the position you are in during spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine for a cesarean section) affects your blood pressure. The goal is to find a better position to reduce the chance of dangerously low blood pressure after the spinal injection.
This study tests whether changing the position of the operating table affects blood flow and anesthesia during leg surgery. It may help improve how spinal anesthesia works for you.
