Spine length may help prevent blood pressure drops during C-Sections
NCT ID NCT06869434
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using the length of the lower spine to calculate spinal anesthesia dose during C-sections could lower the risk of a dangerous drop in blood pressure. 446 women were randomly assigned to receive a dose based on spine length or standard height-based dosing. The goal was to see which method led to fewer cases of low blood pressure during surgery.
