Predicting blood pressure drops during spinal anesthesia for hernia surgery
This study looks at a new way to predict if your blood pressure will drop during spinal anesthesia for hernia surgery. It may help doctors prevent dizziness or fainting during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older
- You are scheduled for hernia surgery on one side (not both)
- You will have spinal anesthesia (numbing your lower body)
