Vitamin d levels may predict blood pressure drops during C-Section
NCT ID NCT07057362
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is checking if pregnant women with low vitamin D are more likely to have a dangerous drop in blood pressure during a C-section when they get spinal anesthesia. Researchers will measure vitamin D levels before surgery and watch blood pressure closely during the procedure. The goal is to find out if vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor, which could help doctors better manage care for these patients.

Who is studied
Pregnant women aged 18 years and older who are scheduled for elective cesarean section under spinal anesthesia at a tertiary care university hospital. All participants will be clinically stable and provide informed consent prior to enrollment. The study population will be stratified based on serum vitamin D levels into deficient and sufficient groups for analysis of hypotension outcomes.
