Norepinephrine to prevent low blood pressure during emergency surgery for peritonitis
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a low dose of the medicine norepinephrine before anesthesia can prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure during emergency surgery for peritonitis (infection in the belly). It may help keep your blood pressure stable during the operation.

This trial tests whether a 5 microgram or a 10 microgram dose of norepinephrine works better to treat low blood pressure that happens after starting anesthesia or during emergency abdominal surgery. It may help doctors choose the right dose to keep your blood pressure stable.
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 trial tests whether giving a medicine called norepinephrine before anesthesia can help stabilize blood pressure in patients with sepsis who are having surgery. It aims to reduce complications during and after the operation.
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 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 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.
