How fasting time affects blood pressure after anesthesia
This study looks at whether the length of time you fast before surgery can affect your blood pressure after you are put to sleep. The goal is to help doctors manage blood pressure better during operations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned surgery or diagnostic procedure.
- You will need a breathing tube during general anesthesia.

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 tests a computer model that uses heart-rhythm measurements to predict whether your blood pressure will drop dangerously after anesthesia begins. If accurate, it could help doctors prepare and protect you during surgery.
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 looks at how often low blood pressure happens after surgery in the recovery room. It helps doctors understand and better manage blood pressure in patients who just had general anesthesia.
This trial tests whether noradrenaline is better than standard care for preventing dangerously low blood pressure during surgery. If you are having non-cardiac surgery that lasts at least an hour and are expected to stay overnight, this study may be for you.
This study looks at how blood pressure medications affect low blood pressure episodes that happen during and after heart surgery. Researchers want to understand if the number of blood pressure drugs you take before surgery changes how your body handles blood pressure during the operation.
