Comparing blood pressure effects of spinal anesthesia
This study compares how two different doses of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) affect blood pressure during spinal anesthesia. It may help doctors choose the safest dose for patients having surgery.

This study compares two types of spinal anesthesia for planned cesarean sections to see which one causes less of a drop in blood pressure. It may help you and your doctor choose the safest option for your delivery.
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 looks at how your position during spinal anesthesia (numbing from the waist down) affects the dose of the numbing medicine (bupivacaine) needed and your blood pressure stability. It may help make anesthesia safer and more comfortable for you.
This study compares two doses of a numbing medicine given during spinal anesthesia for lower limb surgery in older adults. The goal is to find out if a lower dose works just as well but with fewer side effects.
This study tests two different strengths of a numbing medicine given through a spinal injection before a bladder scope procedure. It aims to find which strength keeps your heart rate and blood pressure more stable during the procedure.
This study tests if giving hydrocortisone (a type of steroid) or ondansetron (an anti-nausea drug) before spinal anesthesia can better prevent low blood pressure during surgery for your belly or lower leg.
