Blood test and heart response before cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test and how your heart responds during anesthesia can predict complications after major cancer surgery. It may help doctors better prepare patients for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) major cancer surgery
- You will have surgery with general anesthesia (you will be asleep)

- You do not have an active infection or sepsis
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have severe heart, kidney, or liver failure

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 looks at what causes low blood pressure after anesthesia starts in older patients with cancer who are having surgery. It may help doctors prevent complications.
This study looks at how changes in blood flow during major cancer surgery might affect the heart in patients 65 and older. It aims to see if these changes can predict heart damage after surgery, which could help doctors monitor and care for patients better.
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.
This study tests special ways of analyzing blood-pressure recordings during major surgery to better understand why some people develop low blood pressure (hypotension). If you have high blood pressure and need invasive blood-pressure monitoring, your surgery team will use readings to study patterns that may help predict or prevent low blood pressure.
This trial compares two ways doctors monitor your body's circulation during colorectal surgery. One method tracks blood pressure; the other tracks how much blood your heart pumps. Researchers want to see which approach leads to better outcomes and fewer complications.
