Predicting blood pressure drops during intestinal blockage surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a bowel obstruction and are scheduled for exploratory abdominal surgery under general anesthesia.
- You are between 40 and 70 years old.
- Your body mass index is between 18 and 25.
- You are in generally good health (classified as ASA I or II).

This study looks at whether people who have low blood pressure after eating are also more likely to have low blood pressure after starting general anesthesia. It may help doctors better predict and manage blood pressure drops during non-heart surgeries in older adults.
This study looks at whether an ultrasound of the carotid artery in your neck, done before surgery, can help predict drops in blood pressure after you go to sleep for your operation. The goal is to improve safety for patients having non-cardiac surgery.
This study tests whether a simple ultrasound of the neck's blood vessels, combined with a leg-raising maneuver, can help predict low blood pressure after you go under anesthesia for gastrointestinal tumor surgery. It aims to make anesthesia safer and more personalized.
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 tests a new tool that warns doctors when your blood pressure might drop during lung surgery. If it works well, it could help prevent complications and keep you safer during the operation.
This study is testing a new tool called the Hypotension Prediction Index to help predict and prevent dangerously low blood pressure during surgery. It may be especially helpful for older, frail patients having long abdominal surgeries.
