Paracetamol's effect on blood pressure in ICU patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial measures how a common painkiller, paracetamol, affects blood pressure in intensive care patients. If you are in the ICU and your doctor has ordered paracetamol, this study may help understand its hemodynamic effects.
