Blood pressure drugs may cause dangerous drops during spine surgery, new study warns
NCT ID NCT06649487
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how high blood pressure and its medications affect blood flow and blood pressure when patients lie face-down for spinal surgery. Researchers will monitor 70 adults to see if those with hypertension have different changes in heart function compared to healthy patients. The goal is to help doctors prevent dangerous low blood pressure during surgery.

Who is studied
Prone position may cause some hemodynamic changes in patients with hypertension compared to those without comorbidities. Therefore, in this study, researchers planned to investigate the changes in some hemodynamic values in patients with hypertension and without comorbidities who were scheduled for vertebral surgery. When calculating the sample size; a previous study has shown that the cardiac index is 2.5±0.3 with a change in prone position under general anesthesia. By estimating a change of approximately 10% in this value in patients with hypertension, when the type 1 error value is accepted as 0.05 and the power is 0.90, it has been determined that the sample size for the study is sufficient with 64 patients. Considering the losses that may occur during follow-up, it is planned to conduct the study with 70 patients with a 10% increase.
