Simple fluid bolus before cystoscopy may prevent dangerous blood pressure drops
NCT ID NCT06985654
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether giving a standard amount of IV fluid (Lactated Ringer's solution) before anesthesia can prevent low blood pressure during cystoscopy. About 100 adults having elective cystoscopy will receive the fluid bolus, and researchers will track how many experience a significant drop in blood pressure. The goal is to find a simple, effective way to reduce this common complication.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Lactated Ringer's solution (a type of IV fluid)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a simple, low-cost way to prevent low blood pressure during cystoscopy, making the procedure safer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial, so results may not apply to all patients. The fluid bolus itself could cause fluid overload in some people.
