Managing Heart Rate and Blood Pressure During Surgery Intubation
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests two medications—metoprolol (a heart-rate slowing drug) and sufentanil (a pain reliever)—given together to prevent dangerous changes in heart rate and blood pressure when a breathing tube is placed during surgery. You would receive these as part of your normal anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–65 years
- Relatively good overall health (no serious heart or lung disease)
- Scheduled for elective (planned, non-emergency) non-heart surgery
- Not currently taking beta-blockers (heart medications) for any condition
- Normal kidney and liver function
- No allergy to metoprolol or sufentanil

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two medications given before surgery to see which one better keeps your heart rate and blood pressure stable when the breathing tube is placed. It is for people with controlled high blood pressure who are having planned surgery.
This study tests two different medications—dexmedetomidine and lignocaine—to see which one better keeps your heart rate and blood pressure stable when doctors remove your breathing tube after surgery. The goal is to find the safest, most affordable approach, especially in hospitals with limited resources.
This trial studies whether using blood-pressure support medicines (vasopressors) during breathing tube placement (intubation) can prevent dangerous drops in circulation (“cardiovascular collapse”). It may help patients stay stable during and after intubation, especially in critical illness.
This trial tests two different pain medicines, nalbuphine and fentanyl, to see which one causes fewer changes in blood pressure and heart rate during the placement of a breathing tube for heart surgery.
This trial tests how well an “induction agent” medication works during major surgery to help keep blood pressure stable. It may help prevent complications in people at higher risk, especially those staying overnight in the hospital.
This trial tests whether adding lidocaine or sufentanil to a standard anesthetic drug (etomidate) helps reduce the dose of remifentanil needed to place a breathing tube comfortably. It may help patients undergoing planned surgery with general anesthesia.
