NCT ID NCT07197398

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed study analyzed data from 183 women who had a C-section under spinal anesthesia with a standard dose of bupivacaine. Researchers wanted to see if the mother's height, weight, or baby's size affected how high the numbness spread. The goal is to help doctors predict anesthesia effects more accurately.
