Comparing two drugs to prevent low blood pressure during hip surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles 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 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 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 looks at whether using ultrasound to check the neck arteries before surgery can help doctors predict and prevent low blood pressure during hip replacement surgery done with spinal anesthesia. If you are 65 or older and having this surgery, this could help make your procedure safer.
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 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.
