Quick neck scan may predict surgery danger
NCT ID NCT07638306
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will check if a simple ultrasound of the neck vein, done before and right after anesthesia, can predict low blood pressure during surgery and kidney injury afterward. Researchers will observe 150 adults having major abdominal surgery. The goal is to see if changes in the vein's shape can warn doctors ahead of time.
