Push-dose adrenaline to prevent blood pressure drops during intubation
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This emergency department study tests whether a quick injection of adrenaline (epinephrine) can prevent dangerously low blood pressure when doctors need to place a breathing tube. If you're in the ER and need this procedure, you may qualify.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are in the emergency department and your doctor has decided you need a breathing tube placed quickly
- Your blood pressure is already low (systolic under 90 mmHg or mean arterial pressure under 65 mmHg) or you are at high risk for low blood pressure during the procedure
- You are able to give written consent, or a legal representative can consent for you if you cannot
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have a known allergy to adrenaline (epinephrine)

This trial tests two methods for giving oxygen before placing a breathing tube in an emergency. It looks at which technique causes fewer problems and helps oxygen levels stay stable.
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 study tests whether giving a low dose of norepinephrine (a blood pressure-supporting medication) through an IV during anesthesia can prevent dangerous blood pressure drops in patients having emergency surgery for peritonitis (a serious abdominal infection). The goal is to keep patients safer during the critical moments right after anesthesia starts.
This study tests if dexmedetomidine can help prevent dangerous blood pressure spikes during breathing tube placement for surgery in patients with high blood pressure. It is for older adults (over 60) who have been managing their hypertension for at least 6 months.
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 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.
