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)

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 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 looks at whether a special blood pressure monitoring tool (called PPV) can help predict a condition called pregnancy-induced hypertension (high blood pressure during pregnancy) in older patients. If you are 65 or older and having planned surgery with an arterial line, you may be eligible to join.
This trial tests if noninvasive blood pressure cuff measurements before surgery can help predict low blood pressure during surgery for people having non-cardiac surgery.
This trial tests a tool that predicts drops in blood pressure during major abdominal surgery. It may help doctors manage blood pressure better during and after surgery.
This study tests whether a special computer tool (called the Hypotension Prediction Index) can help anesthesiologists keep your blood pressure from dropping too low during major abdominal surgery. By using this tool, doctors hope to reduce the risk of low blood pressure during surgery and improve safety for older frail adults.
