SPINAL ANESTHESIA

This study is testing if a quick, non-invasive ultrasound scan of a leg vein can predict which older patients will experience a dangerous drop in blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for orthopedic surgery. Researchers will measure the vein size in 43 patients over 60 before t…

This study is testing whether adding a drug called dexmedetomidine to a standard spinal anesthesia mix provides better and longer-lasting pain relief after leg amputation surgery for bone or soft tissue cancer (sarcoma). Researchers will compare the combination against the standa…

This study is comparing two different numbing techniques used during a common varicose vein procedure. Researchers want to see which method—a spinal injection or a nerve block in the groin—allows patients to go home sooner and regain feeling and movement in their leg faster after…

This study aims to find a more reliable body surface landmark to help doctors accurately place spinal anesthesia for pregnant women having a cesarean section. Researchers are comparing two different bony landmarks on the back using ultrasound to see which one more consistently po…

This study is testing whether computer algorithms (machine learning) can accurately predict when spinal anesthesia will wear off after total knee replacement surgery. Researchers will collect data from 140 patients to train the AI models. The goal is to help doctors better plan f…

This study is testing if a simple, non-invasive skin sensor can predict which elderly cancer patients will experience a dangerous drop in blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for urologic surgery. Researchers will monitor 102 patients aged 65+ to see if changes in skin moistur…

This study aims to understand if the time between the start of a planned C-section and the baby's delivery affects the baby's immediate health, as measured by a standard blood test. Researchers will observe 100 women having planned C-sections under two common types of anesthesia.…
