Predicting low blood pressure during planned cesarean delivery
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses sensors to measure your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels during a planned cesarean delivery. The goal is to create a tool that can predict if your blood pressure might drop during spinal anesthesia, so doctors can prevent it.
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 trial checks if low vitamin D levels can make a drop in blood pressure more likely or severe during a C-section with spinal anesthesia. It may help find ways to better monitor or prevent blood pressure problems during surgery.
This trial tests if a short breathing exercise before spinal anesthesia can help keep your blood pressure steady during a planned C-section. You will practice the technique briefly before the procedure.
This research study uses ultrasound images of a neck vein to predict whether a pregnant person will experience low blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for a planned cesarean section. The goal is to help doctors identify and prevent this common side effect before it happens.
This trial uses an ultrasound measurement of blood flow in the neck to predict if a pregnant woman will experience low blood pressure after receiving spinal anesthesia for a C-section. This could help doctors take steps to prevent it.
This study uses non-invasive methods to predict low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia during planned C-sections. It may help your care team take steps to prevent complications.
