Vasopressor study on brain oxygen during surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your physical health is rated ASA I, II, or III (generally healthy to mild/moderate disease).

This trial looks at how a breathing maneuver during surgery can safely lower blood pressure and help doctors decide whether you need extra fluids. It may help guide your care during surgery to keep you stable and reduce complications.
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 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 looks at finding the safest and most effective dose of a medication called a vasopressor, which helps keep blood pressure stable during surgery. It is specifically for infants under 2 years old having general anesthesia.
This study looks at how blood pressure medicines affect blood flow to the brain during general anesthesia for planned surgery. It may help doctors understand how to better manage care during operations.
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.
