First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looked at whether two simple measurements—the caval-aorta index and perfusion index—can predict low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia in patients over 60. Researchers studied 200 older adults undergoing leg surgery to find threshold values that could help doctors prevent complications. The goal is to improve safety for elderly patients during surgery.
