Evaluating predictors of low blood pressure after cesarean sections
Novel Predictors of Post Spinal Hypotension in Cesarean Sections: Evaluating Jugular Vein Collapsibility Index and Shock Indices
This study is testing if certain measurements can help predict low blood pressure after cesarean sections in women who are having spinal anesthesia.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Jugular Vein Collapsibility Index and various shock indices in predicting post spinal hypotension in women undergoing planned cesarean sections. By measuring these indices, the study seeks to enhance early diagnosis and management of hypotension, potentially improving patient outcomes. The research will involve pregnant women aged 18-45 who are scheduled for cesarean delivery and are eligible for spinal anesthesia. The findings could provide valuable insights into hemodynamic stability during and after surgery.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are pregnant women aged 18-45 who are scheduled for a planned cesarean section and can safely receive spinal anesthesia.
Not a fit: Patients with preeclampsia, eclampsia, or HELLP syndrome may not benefit from this study due to their specific medical conditions.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved prediction and management of hypotension in cesarean section patients, enhancing their safety and recovery.
How similar studies have performed: While the approach of using jugular vein collapsibility and shock indices is innovative, similar studies have not been widely reported, indicating this may be a novel investigation.
