Vasopressor dosage study for infants under anesthesia
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 a higher or lower dose of norepinephrine works better to treat dangerously low blood pressure that can happen during a C-section. If you are a healthy full-term mother having a planned C-section, you may be able to join.
This trial tests two different doses of the drug noradrenaline to see which works better at preventing dangerously low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia for a planned C-section. This is for women who are at least 37 weeks pregnant and within a certain weight and height range.
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 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.
