Blood pressure medication study during major non-heart surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 45 years old
- You are scheduled for major non-heart surgery that lasts 2+ hours
- You will receive general anesthesia or spinal/epidural anesthesia (or both)
- You expect to stay overnight in the hospital (ICU is okay)
- Your surgery team plans close blood pressure monitoring using an arterial line (a catheter in an artery)
- You have at least one risk factor such as age over 65, diabetes, smoking history, prior stroke/heart disease, kidney problems, or high certain heart blood tests

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 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.
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 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 study compares a personalized approach to managing blood pressure during surgery with the usual one-size-fits-all method. It looks at older adults or those with certain heart or blood vessel conditions having non-emergency surgery to see if individual targets can improve recovery.
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.
