First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether giving a standard amount of IV fluid (Lactated Ringer's solution) before anesthesia can prevent low blood pressure during cystoscopy. About 100 adults having elective cystoscopy will receive the fluid bolus, and researchers will track how many experience a significant drop in blood pressure. The goal is to find a simple, effective way to reduce this common complication.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a simple, low-cost way to prevent low blood pressure during cystoscopy, making the procedure safer.

What could go wrong

This is a small, single-center trial, so results may not apply to all patients. The fluid bolus itself could cause fluid overload in some people.
