Predicting blood pressure drops after spinal anesthesia for hernia surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older
- You are scheduled for elective inguinal hernia surgery (planned, not emergency) on one side
- Your surgery will use spinal anesthesia (numbing the lower body)
- You are in generally good health (classified as ASA I-III)
- You do not have severe heart, liver, kidney, or neurological conditions that could affect the study

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 checks if a simple neck ultrasound before your cesarean can predict if your blood pressure will drop during spinal anesthesia. This could help doctors prevent dizziness or low blood pressure during surgery.
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.
This study tests whether a simple skin sensor can predict a dangerous drop in blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for older adults having urologic cancer surgery. If it works, doctors could take steps to prevent dizziness or fainting.
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 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.
