Elderly cancer patients at risk for Anesthesia-Induced low blood pressure
NCT ID NCT07294040
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how often elderly cancer patients (65 and older) experience a dangerous drop in blood pressure right after receiving general anesthesia for surgery. Researchers will track 140 patients to find out which factors—like age, cancer type, or other health conditions—make this more likely. The goal is to help doctors better manage anesthesia for this vulnerable group.
