This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a simple heart ultrasound performed before surgery can help prevent a common complication called low blood pressure that happens when anesthesia is started. Researchers want to see if checking how much blood your heart is pumping before you go to sleep can help doctors give you the right amount of fluids during surgery, keeping your blood pressure stable and safe.
Low blood pressure during anesthesia is a common problem that can be serious for patients having major surgery. This trial exists to see whether measuring your heart function beforehand and adjusting fluids based on that information can prevent this complication from happening in the first place.

You would first have a pre-operative evaluation with an anesthesiologist who will review your medical history and explain the study. If you qualify and agree to participate, you'll receive either a heart ultrasound before anesthesia starts (new approach) or standard care with monitoring during anesthesia (control group). The study tracks whether your blood pressure stays stable after anesthesia is given.
