Vein collapsibility test for predicting low blood pressure after cesarean anesthesia in women with preeclampsia
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the size and collapsibility of a vein in the neck changes after spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. It compares women with preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy) to healthy women to see if this vein measurement can help predict who might have low blood pressure after the anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at whether a simple ultrasound of a neck vein can help predict if your blood pressure will drop too low during spinal anesthesia for your C-section. The goal is to make delivery safer and more comfortable for you and your baby.
This trial compares two medications, dexamethasone (a steroid) and ondansetron (an anti-nausea drug), to see which better prevents low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia during a cesarean section in women with preeclampsia. It aims to find a safer way to keep blood pressure stable during delivery.
This study tests whether giving a protein solution called albumin helps keep blood pressure stable during a cesarean delivery with spinal anesthesia in women with preeclampsia (a condition of high blood pressure and organ damage). Participants are randomly assigned to receive either albumin or standard care, and their bodies' responses are monitored to see which approach works better.
This study looks at how a pregnant woman's body mass index (BMI) affects the dose of a medicine called norepinephrine, which is given during a cesarean section to prevent low blood pressure. The goal is to find the right dose for each woman to keep her blood pressure stable during the procedure.
This study tests whether checking how much the jugular vein (a vein in the neck) collapses can help predict drops in blood pressure during surgery. It's for older adults having laparoscopic colon or rectal 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.
