Ultrasound test to predict blood pressure drops during surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to check blood vessels before surgery to predict if blood pressure might drop during anesthesia. It aims to help doctors keep patients safer during abdominal surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a blockage in your intestines and are having surgery to fix it.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 25.

This study checks if a simple ultrasound of the neck's blood vessels can predict a sudden drop in blood pressure when you go under general anesthesia for a non-heart surgery. It may help doctors prevent and manage low blood pressure during procedures.
This study looks at whether a simple finger sensor can predict sudden drops in blood pressure when you get anesthesia for a procedure to view your voice box. This could help doctors keep your blood pressure steadier and safer during surgery.
This study tests whether a simple leg-raising test during ultrasound of the neck arteries can predict if blood pressure will drop after anesthesia starts. This could help doctors prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure during surgery.
This study checks if a simple ultrasound test of the heart can predict whether your blood pressure will drop when you go under general anesthesia. If your blood pressure is likely to drop, your care team can be ready to manage it, making your anesthesia safer.
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 whether a special computer tool (called the Hypotension Prediction Index) can help anesthesiologists keep your blood pressure from dropping too low during major abdominal surgery. By using this tool, doctors hope to reduce the risk of low blood pressure during surgery and improve safety for older frail adults.
