Comparing two drugs to prevent low blood pressure during hip surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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 trial tests two different doses of the drug noradrenaline to see which works better at preventing dangerously low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia for a planned C-section. This is for women who are at least 37 weeks pregnant and within a certain weight and height range.
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 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.
This trial compares two medications, norepinephrine and phenylephrine, to see which works better at preventing low blood pressure during emergency C-sections under spinal anesthesia.
This trial tests if a medicine taken before surgery can help prevent low blood pressure caused by spinal anesthesia. It is for people having planned leg or plastic surgeries.
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.
