NCT ID NCT07443345
First seen Mar 02, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study looks at how often the diaphragm — the main muscle used for breathing — becomes weak after a C-section in women with severe preeclampsia. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure diaphragm movement before and 24 hours after surgery in 52 women. The goal is to find out how common this problem is and what factors might increase the risk.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors identify which women with severe preeclampsia are at risk for breathing problems after C-section, leading to better monitoring and care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study that only measures a single outcome (diaphragm movement) and does not test any treatment. Results may not apply to all hospitals or patient groups.
