Simple vein scan may prevent anesthesia danger in prostate surgery
NCT ID NCT07497295
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether an ultrasound scan of veins in the belly and leg can predict a dangerous drop in blood pressure after spinal anesthesia. Researchers will measure these veins in 110 men scheduled for prostate surgery, then track their blood pressure after anesthesia. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to identify patients at risk and prevent complications.
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 could give doctors a simple, non-invasive way to predict and prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure during spinal anesthesia.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study, not a treatment trial. The ultrasound method may not prove reliable enough for routine use.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult male patients aged 18-75 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III who are scheduled to undergo elective transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) under spinal anesthesia. All participants will be recruited from a single tertiary care center. Patients will be evaluated preoperatively, and eligible individuals who provide written informed consent will be included in the study.
