Low-dose norepinephrine during laparoscopic abdominal surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for elective (not emergency) laparoscopic major abdominal surgery under general anesthesia.
- Your surgery is expected to last more than 2 hours.
- You are at high risk for lung complications after surgery, as determined by a special score (ARISCAT score of 45 or higher).
- You do not have severe heart problems, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or kidney failure requiring dialysis.

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 compares two medications used to manage blood pressure during complex spine surgery. The goal is to see which one works better and is safer for patients undergoing this type of procedure.
This study tests a software tool that helps doctors automatically adjust norepinephrine (a blood pressure medicine) during long spine surgeries. The goal is to keep your blood pressure stable, which may reduce complications.
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 is for women having planned C-sections with spinal anesthesia. It tests whether combining two blood-pressure-supporting medicines (norepinephrine and ephedrine) works better, or is just as safe, as using one medicine alone to keep your blood pressure stable during the surgery. The goal is to see if this reduces side effects like low blood pressure for you and your baby.
