Toe blood pressure may better predict newborn health during C-Sections
NCT ID NCT07685730
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares whether measuring blood pressure continuously at the toe versus the arm better predicts newborn outcomes in women having planned C-sections under spinal anesthesia. Researchers will monitor 327 mothers with a noninvasive device on both a finger and a toe. The goal is to see if lower-extremity readings more accurately detect drops in blood pressure that could affect the baby's health right after birth.

- If successful, this could improve how doctors monitor blood pressure during C-sections, potentially leading to better newborn outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it does not test a new treatment. Results may not change current practice or apply to all patients.
