Predicting if the Blood Pressure Will Drop After Spinal Anesthesia Using Ultrasound of the Neck

Netherlands44 participantsStarted 2023-04-12

Plain-language summary

After a spinal injection, blood pressure might drop for a short time, similar to what happens with general anesthesia. This drop can be different for each person. An anesthesiologist will use medicine to bring the blood pressure back to normal. If this drop could be predicted in advance, it would help the anesthesiologist treat it faster, making the procedure even safer and preventing side effects like dizziness or nausea.
