Side-Lying after spinal anesthesia may protect elderly patients from dangerous blood pressure drops
NCT ID NCT07597148
First seen Jun 20, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether keeping elderly patients on their side for 15 minutes after spinal anesthesia, instead of lying on their back, can prevent blood pressure drops. Researchers will enroll 70 high-risk patients aged 65 and older having leg surgery. The approach aims to keep the anesthetic concentrated on the surgical side, potentially reducing side effects.
