Predicting blood pressure changes during planned cesarean delivery
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study uses an ultrasound to measure blood flow in the neck to predict if a pregnant woman will experience low blood pressure or a headache after receiving spinal anesthesia for a planned cesarean section. The goal is to help doctors better manage these common side effects.
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 study looks at whether certain simple measurements (called shock indexes) taken before your cesarean delivery can help predict if you might have a drop in blood pressure after you get spinal anesthesia. The goal is to help doctors take better care of moms like you during the surgery.
This study looks at how the position you are in during spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine for a cesarean section) affects your blood pressure. The goal is to find a better position to reduce the chance of dangerously low blood pressure after the spinal injection.
This study looks at whether a simple ultrasound measurement of blood flow in your neck can help predict if your blood pressure might drop during spinal anesthesia for a C-section. This could help doctors prevent dizziness and other side effects.
