Obesity, belly pressure, and bleeding in back surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how different types of obesity affect pressure in the belly and bleeding during major lower back surgery. It may help doctors better prepare for surgeries in people with different body types.

This study compares two types of anesthesia for lower back surgery: one that uses opioids and one that does not. The goal is to see which approach controls pain better with fewer side effects.
This trial is testing a way to keep blood pressure lower on purpose during spinal surgery. This might help reduce blood loss and the need for blood transfusions during the operation. If you are having a specific type of spinal surgery and are generally healthy, you may be a good fit.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how much the veins in your leg and belly collapse when you breathe, to see if this can predict a drop in blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for prostate surgery. If you are eligible, you may help doctors better manage your blood pressure during surgery.
This study measures a large vein in your belly (the IVC) during planned lumbar spine stabilization surgery to understand how it responds to the surgery. The goal is to improve how doctors monitor your blood circulation during the operation.
This study measures how belly fat thickness seen on ultrasound relates to lung pressure during spine surgery on your stomach. It may help doctors understand breathing risks better.
This trial is looking at whether two simple ultrasound measurements can better predict if a patient's blood pressure will drop after anesthesia begins during surgery for an intestinal blockage. This could help doctors keep patients safer during surgery.
