Vein size may predict blood pressure trouble in elderly surgery
NCT ID NCT07339475
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether measuring the size of a large vein in the leg with ultrasound can help predict a sudden drop in blood pressure after spinal anesthesia. It involves 43 older adults (over 60) having planned leg surgery. The goal is to find a simple way to identify those at higher risk, so doctors can take steps to prevent complications.
