Comparing blood pressure readings in arm vs leg during C-section
Part of Brain & nervous system, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares blood pressure measurements taken from the arm versus the leg during planned Cesarean sections using a special monitor. It aims to see which location gives more accurate readings for women having spinal anesthesia.

This study compares blood pressure measurements taken at the ankle versus the arm during planned cesarean delivery. It helps doctors find a reliable way to monitor your blood pressure during surgery when the arm cuff may not work well.
This study builds a tool to predict if blood pressure will drop during a planned cesarean with spinal anesthesia, using heart rate, blood pressure, and other non-invasive monitors. If you participate, the team will track your vital signs during the procedure to help improve safety and comfort for future mothers.
This study compares two types of spinal anesthesia techniques used during a planned cesarean section to see which one is better at preventing a drop in blood pressure. If you are scheduled for a cesarean section, this trial may help improve your care and comfort.
This study tests a non-invasive blood pressure monitor during cesarean section under spinal anesthesia to see if it predicts low blood pressure after the procedure, which could help prevent dizziness and fainting.
This trial looks at whether we can predict which pregnant women will have a sudden drop in blood pressure during a cesarean section. If you're a healthy pregnant woman with a full-term single baby, this study could help improve safety.
This trial tests two medicines given through an IV during a planned cesarean section to prevent a sudden drop in blood pressure (hypotension) after spinal anesthesia. One medicine is called metaraminol and the other is norepinephrine. Both are commonly used to keep blood pressure stable, and the goal is to find out which works better and is safer for mothers and babies.
