How Bupivacaine Affects Heart Rate and Blood Pressure During Surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares how a common numbing medication (bupivacaine) affects your heart rate and blood pressure when given as a spinal injection before surgery. Researchers want to understand these effects better to keep patients safer during procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 60 years old
- Your height is between 5'3" and 6'0" (160–182 cm)
- Your BMI (body weight relative to height) is between 15 and 29.9
- You are in good overall health with no serious heart, kidney, liver, or stroke history
- You have no allergy to numbing medications (local anesthetics)

This trial compares two forms of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) given through a spinal shot before a planned C-section. It aims to see which one causes less of a drop in blood pressure after the medicine is given.
This study compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia (numbing medication in the back) for older adults having leg or hip surgery. It aims to see if adjusting the dose based on height works better than the standard fixed dose. If you are between 60 and 80 and having planned lower limb surgery, you may be eligible.
This study compares two patient positions (lying on your side or sitting up) during spinal anesthesia for urogenital surgery. It aims to find the smallest effective dose of the numbing medicine bupivacaine while keeping your blood pressure stable.
This study compares two methods of calculating the dose of numbing medicine (bupivacaine) for spinal anesthesia in children having surgery below the belly button. It aims to find which method works better to keep your child comfortable during the procedure.
This study compares a lower dose of the spinal anesthesia drug bupivacaine to the standard dose in people 65 and older who are having planned leg surgery. The goal is to see if a lower dose works just as well with fewer side effects.
This study tests whether giving a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) based on age or weight works better for spinal anesthesia in children having belly or groin surgery. It aims to find the safest and most effective dose for each child.
