How body type affects bleeding during major low back surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether different types of obesity affect pressure inside the belly and blood loss during major lower back surgery. The goal is to help doctors predict and reduce bleeding risks in people having spine operations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two different water pressures used during a minimally invasive back surgery to see if one causes fewer complications and gives the surgeon a clearer view. It aims to help improve recovery and surgical outcomes for people with lower back problems.
This study looks at how anesthesia medicines work in the body during surgery for people who are overweight or obese. It aims to improve safety and comfort during anesthesia, which may lead to better outcomes and fewer complications.
This study tests a technique called controlled hypotension, where your blood pressure is intentionally lowered during spinal surgery to reduce bleeding. The goal is to see if this method makes surgery safer and improves recovery.
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 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 tests a simple heart and blood pressure measurement to predict if blood pressure will drop after spinal anesthesia for hernia repair. It may help doctors prevent dizziness or fainting during surgery.
