Simple neck scan may prevent dangerous blood pressure drops in elderly surgery patients
NCT ID NCT07411313
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a quick, painless neck ultrasound can help predict which older adults (65+) will have a dangerous drop in blood pressure after receiving spinal anesthesia for surgery. Researchers will measure the size and shape of a neck vein before surgery and track blood pressure during the operation. The goal is to find a simple way to identify at-risk patients and improve safety.
