Clinical Trial: In Elderly Patients, Does Goal-directed Fluid Management Using the Carotid Corrected Flow Time (CC-FT) Index, Compared to Routine Fluid Management, Affect the Occurrence of Post-induction Hypotension?

U.S., Nov. 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07925918) titled 'In Elderly Patients, Does Goal-directed Fluid Management Using the Carotid Corrected Flow Time (CC-FT) Index, Compared to Routine Fluid Management, Affect the Occurrence of Post-induction Hypotension?' on Nov. 03.

Brief Summary: This study aims to find out whether using a simple ultrasound measurement of blood flow in the neck artery can help doctors decide how much fluid to give older patients before general anesthesia, and thereby reduce the drop in blood pressure that commonly occurs after anesthesia induction. Older adults are more likely to experience low blood pressure during anesthesia, and such drops have been linked to kidn...
