Medication study during major surgery to protect blood pressure
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests how well an “induction agent” medication works during major surgery to help keep blood pressure stable. It may help prevent complications in people at higher risk, especially those staying overnight in the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 45 years or older
- Be scheduled for major non-heart surgery expected to last at least 2 hours
- Get general anesthesia or spinal/epidural anesthesia (or both)
- Plan to stay in the hospital overnight, possibly in the ICU
- Have a higher-risk health factor (like diabetes, prior heart/leg circulation issues, stroke/TIA, smoking history, BMI 35+ , kidney issues, or certain recent blood test results)
- Have close blood pressure monitoring during surgery using an arterial line (a catheter in an artery)

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.
This trial studies a way of managing blood pressure during major surgery to help reduce complications. It is for older adults and others at higher risk who will be closely monitored in the hospital.
This study tests whether personalized blood pressure management during and after major surgery can reduce complications and death in older adults with heart or blood vessel risks. It aims to find the safest blood pressure targets for each patient.
This trial tests whether noradrenaline is better than standard care for preventing dangerously low blood pressure during surgery. If you are having non-cardiac surgery that lasts at least an hour and are expected to stay overnight, this study may be for you.
This study compares two ways of managing blood pressure during heart bypass surgery to see which is better for patient outcomes. The goal is to help doctors choose the right blood pressure targets during surgery.
This study looks at how blood pressure medications affect low blood pressure episodes that happen during and after heart surgery. Researchers want to understand if the number of blood pressure drugs you take before surgery changes how your body handles blood pressure during the operation.
