Blood pressure management during non-cardiac surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 years old or older
- You are having planned or expedited non-cardiac surgery that will last at least 1 hour
- You will need general or spinal anesthesia
- You are expected to stay in the hospital overnight after surgery
- You have an ASA physical status of II or higher (meaning you have at least a mild health condition)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving a small amount of norepinephrine (a blood-pressure medication) during surgery can help reduce the amount of IV fluids needed and lower the risk of lung complications after surgery in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal procedures.
This study is testing a new tool called the Hypotension Prediction Index to help predict and prevent dangerously low blood pressure during surgery. It may be especially helpful for older, frail patients having long abdominal surgeries.
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 trial compares two ways of giving a drug called norepinephrine to keep blood pressure stable during surgery. If you are 45 or older and having non-cardiac surgery, this study may help prevent low blood pressure and protect your kidneys.
This trial compares two medications, vasopressin and noradrenaline, to see which one works better at raising blood pressure in patients who develop dangerously low blood pressure (vasoplegic syndrome) within the first day after heart surgery. The goal is to find the safest and most effective treatment to stabilize blood pressure and help recovery.
This trial tests if noninvasive blood pressure cuff measurements before surgery can help predict low blood pressure during surgery for people having non-cardiac surgery.
