Summary

This study looks at whether a quick ultrasound of the carotid artery before a planned C-section can predict two common problems: a dangerous drop in blood pressure during surgery and a severe headache afterward. Researchers will measure blood flow in the neck of 90 pregnant women one hour before surgery and track their blood pressure and headache symptoms. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to identify women at higher risk so doctors can adjust care to prevent complications.
