Low-dose norepinephrine to reduce fluid during abdominal surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a small amount of norepinephrine (a blood-pressure medication) during surgery can help reduce the amount of IV fluids needed and lower the risk of lung complications after surgery in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are having planned (not emergency) laparoscopic abdominal surgery expected to last more than 2 hours
- Your surgery will be performed under general anesthesia (you will be put to sleep)
- You have risk factors for lung problems after surgery (based on a screening score called ARISCAT)
- Your heart function and blood pressure are within acceptable ranges for the study

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 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 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 giving norepinephrine alone versus norepinephrine plus ephedrine to keep your blood pressure stable during a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia. It may help find the best way to prevent low blood pressure during delivery.
This trial tests whether a higher or lower dose of norepinephrine works better to treat dangerously low blood pressure that can happen during a C-section. If you are a healthy full-term mother having a planned C-section, you may be able to join.
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.
