Vasopressin vs. Noradrenaline for low blood pressure after heart surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You had heart surgery (bypass, valve repair, or both) in the last 24 hours.
- You have very low blood pressure (below 65 mmHg) that does not improve after getting at least 1000 ml of fluids through an IV.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You did not have emergency surgery or heart transplant surgery.

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.
This trial compares two medications, vasopressin and norepinephrine, to see which one better controls blood pressure in the lungs after surgery to remove blockages from the lung arteries. The goal is to find a treatment that keeps the lung blood pressure stable while minimizing side effects.
This trial tests if starting Angiotensin II early, instead of other blood pressure medications, can help heart surgery patients maintain safe blood pressure. It may be an option if you have low blood pressure after surgery despite receiving fluids.
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 study compares two medications given during surgery to see which one better protects the kidneys after the procedure. If you are having major non-cardiac surgery that lasts at least 2 hours and you need medication to support your blood pressure, this trial may be a good fit.
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.
