Treating high blood pressure before anesthesia
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if treating high blood pressure before general anesthesia helps keep your blood pressure stable during surgery. It's for adults with high blood pressure who are scheduled for a planned surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You will have surgery that requires general anesthesia (you'll be put to sleep).
- Your blood pressure must be high (top number over 140 or bottom number over 90) at the pre-surgery check.
- Your surgery must be elective (planned ahead, not an emergency).
- You cannot have any known heart valve problems, kidney disease, or be pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 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 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 looks at whether people who have low blood pressure after eating are also more likely to have low blood pressure after starting general anesthesia. It may help doctors better predict and manage blood pressure drops during non-heart surgeries in older adults.
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.
