Blood Pressure Prediction Before Anesthesia in Older Adults
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a computer model that uses heart-rhythm measurements to predict whether your blood pressure will drop dangerously after anesthesia begins. If accurate, it could help doctors prepare and protect you during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older
- You are scheduled for planned (elective) non-heart surgery under general anesthesia with a breathing tube
- Your overall health status is classified as mild to moderate (ASA I–III)
- You can have your blood pressure measured accurately on your upper arm
- You do not have severe problems with blood vessels in your legs or arms
- You are able to understand the study and give written consent (or have a legal guardian who can)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether people who have low blood pressure after eating are also more likely to have low blood pressure after starting general anesthesia. It may help doctors better predict and manage blood pressure drops during non-heart surgeries in older adults.
This study uses a wristwatch-like device to measure your movement and body functions before and after surgery to help predict which older patients might have complications. The goal is to improve safety planning for people 65 and older having surgery.
This study looks at whether an ultrasound of the carotid artery in your neck, done before surgery, can help predict drops in blood pressure after you go to sleep for your operation. The goal is to improve safety for patients having non-cardiac surgery.
This study looks at whether a simple blood pressure measurement during surgery can predict which older patients may develop high blood pressure after surgery. If you are 65 or older and having planned surgery with a blood pressure monitor placed in an artery, you may be able to join.
This study uses ultrasound measurements of the carotid artery and vena cava to predict if older patients might experience low blood pressure after going under general anesthesia for elective surgery. If successful, it could help doctors take preventive steps.
This study is testing a new tool called the Hypotension Prediction Index to help predict and prevent dangerously low blood pressure during surgery. It may be especially helpful for older, frail patients having long abdominal surgeries.
