First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a passive leg raising test, done before spinal anesthesia, can predict low blood pressure in women having planned C-sections. Researchers measured heart function with ultrasound before and after raising the legs. They then tracked blood pressure drops and the need for medication during surgery. The goal was to see if this simple test could identify women at higher risk.
