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 trial is testing a way to give fluids before C-section to women with severe preeclampsia. It uses an ultrasound measure of the big vein in your belly (the inferior vena cava) to help decide how much fluid is safe, which may reduce complications.
This trial checks if an ultrasound test of the neck vein can predict dangerous drops in blood pressure during cesarean delivery in women with preeclampsia. This could help doctors prevent complications.
This trial tests two different spinal anesthesia techniques to see which one better prevents low blood pressure during planned cesarean delivery. It aims to improve safety and comfort for mothers.
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 trial uses an ultrasound measurement of a neck blood vessel to predict if older patients will develop low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia for lower body surgery.
This research study uses ultrasound images of a neck vein to predict whether a pregnant person will experience low blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for a planned cesarean section. The goal is to help doctors identify and prevent this common side effect before it happens.
