Comparing two ways to give norepinephrine during surgery to prevent low blood pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 45 years old or older
- You are having surgery that is not on your heart (like belly or orthopedic surgery)
- Your doctors plan to use a small tube in your wrist to monitor blood pressure during surgery
- You have at least two of these: age 65+, high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney problems, surgery in the belly area, or an ASA score of III or IV (higher risk for anesthesia)
- You do not have serious heart conditions, an irregular heartbeat, or a history of bleeding in the brain

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 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 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 two different medicines (norepinephrine and phenylephrine) given as an infusion to prevent low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia for hip surgery. It may help older adults undergoing planned hip replacement or repair.
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 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.
