IV medicine study for blood pressure effects during anesthesia
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies how phenylephrine given through an IV affects blood pressure during procedures under general or spinal/epidural anesthesia. It may help doctors understand how to control blood pressure more safely during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 12 and 16 years old (inclusive)
- Be scheduled for a procedure using general or neuraxial (spinal/epidural) anesthesia
- Have a normal or “acceptable” physical exam, as judged by the study team
- If you have controlled diabetes, your clinic blood pressure must be at or below 128/78 after 5 minutes of rest
- If you are female, have a negative pregnancy test at screening and on Day 1
- A parent or legal guardian must consent, and you must agree (assent)

This trial tests the right amount of a blood pressure medicine (vasopressor) for newborns and infants under 2 years old during surgery. It aims to find a safe and effective dose to support their blood pressure during anesthesia.
This study tests how different blood pressure medicines affect blood flow to the brain and other organs during anesthesia for brain tumor surgery. It aims to find the safest way to keep your brain healthy while you are asleep.
This study tests whether a drug called norepinephrine can safely treat a drop in blood pressure that can happen during general anesthesia in people with chronic heart failure. It focuses on patients whose heart's pumping ability is weakened (ejection fraction 40% or less) and who are having planned surgery.
This trial tests whether giving small doses of ephedrine during surgery can prevent dangerously low blood pressure in adults undergoing major abdominal surgery. It may help patients who are at risk for this complication.
This study tests how a blood-pressure medicine called a vasopressor affects oxygen levels in the brain during general anesthesia for abdominal surgery. It may help patients understand the safest way to manage blood pressure during their operation.
This trial tests how doctors manage blood pressure during major surgery using common medicines (norepinephrine or phenylephrine). It may help by improving safety for people at higher risk of blood pressure drops or complications during surgery.
