Norepinephrine before anesthesia for sepsis patients having surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a medicine called norepinephrine before anesthesia can help stabilize blood pressure in patients with sepsis who are having surgery. It aims to reduce complications during and after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have severe sepsis, a serious infection that affects your whole body.
- You are scheduled to have surgery with general anesthesia (you'll be asleep).
- Your health status is rated as ASA III or IV, meaning you have severe systemic disease.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have no known allergy to norepinephrine.

This trial tests whether giving a medicine called norepinephrine early and adjusting the dose quickly can help people with sepsis who have very low blood pressure. It is for adults who are diagnosed within the last 3 hours and who have not already received this medicine.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether starting a medicine called norepinephrine early can improve outcomes for adults with sepsis (a serious body-wide response to infection) and low blood pressure. You might be considered if you’re very early in hospital care and meet specific blood pressure and lactate tests.
This trial tests whether starting norepinephrine early can improve outcomes for adults with sepsis who have low blood pressure. It may help stabilize circulation sooner and reduce complications from severe infection.
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.
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 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.
