First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether a simple ultrasound of the jugular vein and certain shock indices can predict low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia in C-sections. Researchers measured the jugular vein collapsibility index and several shock indices in 60 pregnant women. The goal was to see if these measurements could help doctors spot and manage low blood pressure early, making the procedure safer.
