NCT ID NCT07367386
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked back at medical records of nearly 2,000 severely obese pregnant women (BMI 45 or higher) who had a C-section. The goal was to see if higher body weight made it more likely that the spinal anesthesia would fail, requiring general anesthesia instead. Researchers also checked for side effects in the mother and baby, like low blood pressure or low Apgar scores.
