Blood pressure medication comparison for complex spine surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for elective complex spine surgery that involves fusing at least 5 levels of the thoracic and/or lumbar spine.
- You are in generally good health (classified as ASA I-III).
- You do not have allergies to phenylephrine or norepinephrine.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have certain heart conditions, such as persistent atrial fibrillation, severe valve problems, or poor pumping function (LVEF < 40%).
- You do not have severe liver or kidney disease (including being on dialysis).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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 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 how doctors manage blood pressure during major surgery using common medicines (norepinephrine or phenylephrine). It may help by improving safety for people at higher risk of blood pressure drops or complications during surgery.
