Simple scan could warn doctors of dangerous blood pressure drops in elderly surgery

NCT ID NCT07339475

Summary

This study is testing if a quick, non-invasive ultrasound scan of a leg vein can predict which older patients will experience a dangerous drop in blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for orthopedic surgery. Researchers will measure the vein size in 43 patients over 60 before their surgery and see if it correlates with blood pressure changes. The goal is to find a simple warning sign so doctors can prepare and prevent complications.
