Norepinephrine dose for low blood pressure during emergency belly surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
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 two medicines, norepinephrine and ephedrine, to see which one works better at keeping blood pressure stable during a planned C-section under spinal anesthesia. It will help doctors choose the safest option for mothers and babies.
This study looks at how a pregnant woman's body mass index (BMI) affects the dose of a medicine called norepinephrine, which is given during a cesarean section to prevent low blood pressure. The goal is to find the right dose for each woman to keep her blood pressure stable during the procedure.
This study tests whether giving a low dose of the medicine norepinephrine before anesthesia can prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure during emergency surgery for peritonitis (infection in the belly). It may help keep your blood pressure stable during the operation.
