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)

This study tests a software tool that helps doctors automatically adjust norepinephrine (a blood pressure medicine) during long spine surgeries. The goal is to keep your blood pressure stable, which may reduce complications.
This study compares two medications used to manage blood pressure during complex spine surgery. The goal is to see which one works better and is safer for patients undergoing this type of procedure.
This trial tests whether giving a low dose of a medicine called norepinephrine during surgery can reduce the amount of fluids given intravenously, which may help prevent lung complications after surgery. It is for people having laparoscopic (keyhole) abdominal surgery that is expected to last more than two hours.
This study tests whether a special computer tool (called the Hypotension Prediction Index) can help anesthesiologists keep your blood pressure from dropping too low during major abdominal surgery. By using this tool, doctors hope to reduce the risk of low blood pressure during surgery and improve safety for older frail adults.
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.
