This trial is testing whether simple ultrasound measurements of blood flow in your carotid artery (the main blood vessel in your neck) can predict if your blood pressure will drop too low when you receive anesthesia for surgery. The study focuses on patients with chronic liver disease, who are at higher risk for this complication. If successful, these measurements could help doctors prepare better to prevent dangerous blood pressure drops during your operation.
Patients with chronic liver disease often experience a sudden, dangerous drop in blood pressure when anesthesia is given. Currently, doctors don't have a reliable way to predict who will have this problem. This trial aims to find a simple, safe ultrasound test that could warn doctors ahead of time so they can take steps to protect you.

Before your surgery, you will lie on your back while a trained ultrasound technician scans your neck to measure blood flow in your carotid artery — this takes just a few minutes and is painless. During and after your anesthesia induction, doctors will continuously monitor your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels using standard equipment plus an arterial catheter (a small tube in your wrist artery for precise pressure readings). The researchers will compare the ultrasound measurements taken before surgery with what actually happens to your blood pressure during anesthesia to see if the test can predict who will experience dangerously low blood pressure.
