What this trial studies

This observational study aims to identify factors that predict spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension (SASH) in hypertensive patients undergoing elective surgery. It will assess various parameters, including the internal jugular vein collapsibility index and carotid intima-media thickness, using ultrasonography to explore their association with SASH. The study will also analyze demographic, anthropometric, and hemodynamic data to enhance perioperative management strategies for these patients. By understanding these predictors, the study seeks to improve patient outcomes during surgeries requiring spinal anesthesia.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adult hypertensive patients classified as ASA II-III risk group scheduled for elective surgeries requiring spinal anesthesia.

Not a fit: Patients with severe renal or hepatic failure, severe respiratory or cardiovascular diseases, or contraindications to spinal anesthesia may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to better management strategies that reduce the risk of hypotension in hypertensive patients during spinal anesthesia.

How similar studies have performed: While studies on predictors of anesthesia-induced hypotension exist, this specific approach focusing on hypertensive patients and CIMT is relatively novel.
