Ultrasound may predict dangerous drop in blood pressure during spinal anesthesia
NCT ID NCT06749184
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 110 people with high blood pressure who were having surgery with spinal anesthesia. Researchers used ultrasound to measure blood vessel features before the anesthesia to see if they could predict a dangerous drop in blood pressure. The goal is to help doctors better prepare and manage these patients.

Who is studied
The study will include adult hypertensive patients scheduled for elective surgical procedures under spinal anesthesia at Konya City Hospital. The target population comprises patients with hypertensive patients (ASA II-III classification), who are deemed fit for elective surgery and spinal anesthesia by their clinical teams. Eligible participants will be screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study population represents a subset of hypertensive individuals with varying durations of hypertension, medication regimens, and cardiovascular profiles. Patients will be recruited from preoperative assessment clinics and surgical wards at the hospital.
