NCT ID NCT06151431
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two different blood pressure targets during cesarean section in 390 women with preeclampsia. One group kept blood pressure above 80% of their starting level, the other above 90%. The goal was to see which target led to better newborn outcomes, measured by umbilical cord blood gases. The results could guide doctors on how tightly to manage blood pressure during delivery.
