Active clinical trials for "Hypotension"

Hypotension does not occur with Maraviroc at a dose of 600 mg/day

This is a national, multicentre, prospective, open, two-arm, non-interventional study with hospitalized patients, who are treated routinely with cafedrine/theodrenaline or ephedrine after occurrence of perioperative hypotension, wherein the patients are assigned to a treatment arm based on the department.

Patients, scheduled for elective arthroplasty were monitored with Lithium Dilution Cardiac Output monitor (LiDCOplus™) before and 45 minutes after spinal anesthesia. Hypotension was defined as systolic blood pressure ≤ 100 mmHg or ≥ 30% decrease from baseline. Associations between hypotension and the hemodynamic changes after preanaesthetic fluid loading and spinal anesthesia were analysed by logistic regression analyses.

A group of engineers at Michigan State developed a novel waveform analysis technique ("Long Time Interval Analysis" [LTIA]) that attempts to estimate cardiac output non-invasively. Retrospective comparison of LTIA to invasive techniques (e.g. thermodilution) suggest acceptable agreement. Thus, a prospective trial of LTIA is warranted. This study compares LTIA to a validated measure of cardiac output - esophageal Doppler monitoring.

Per-dialytic hypotension is common in Intensive Care Unit patients under continuous renal replacement therapy, and occurs in nearly 50% of the patients. To date, there is a lack of study having characterized the underlying mechanism of hypotension in this setting. New diagnostic methods are now available with high reliability to identify hypovolemia as the underlying cause of hypotension, among which change in cardiac index during passive leg raising may be the less affected by restrictive validity criteria. A change in cardiac index greater than 10% during this test is highly predictive of preload dependence, i.e the probability than cardiac index will increase if cardiac preload increases. The aim of this study is then to identify, among hypotensive episodes occurring during renal replacement therapy in Intensive Care Unit patients, the percentage of episodes related to preload dependence as identified by passive leg raising.

The investigators propose this study to test the hypotheses that inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter can predict hypotension after labor analgesia (epidural, combined spinal-epidural) and neuraxial anesthesia for cesarean section (epidural, combined spinal-epidural and spinal block) in full-term pregnant patients.

This study aims at evaluating if a specific protocol, that can be framed in the innovative concept of Perioperative Goal Directed Therapy (PGDT), based on the evaluation of the Stroke Volume Variation (SVV) - a parameter deriving from the adoption of a minimally invasive advanced hemodynamic monitoring technology with a special sensor called FloTrac® (Edwards) or of a non-invasive monitoring system with the Clearsight® sensor (Edwards) - is able to guarantee a greater precision in the intraoperative management of patients undergoing spinal surgery in prone position.

Acute renal injury (AKI) is a common complication after cardiac surgery and is associated with worse outcomes. Hypotension is an important risk factor for the development of AKI after noncardiac surgery. However, the association between intraoperative hypotension and AKI after cardiac surgery has not been fully investigated. The purpose of this study is to analyze the association between intraoperative hypotension and acute kidney injury after off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery.

Spinal anesthesia for caesarean section is associated with a decrease in systemic vascular resistance and cardiac output and may cause hypotension in a significant portion of the parturients. Hypotension during delivery may cause maternal and fetal complications. If parturients who are likely to develop hypotension after spinal anesthesia can be identified before surgery, anesthesiologists would have opportunity to take measures such as prophylactic vasopressor administration. Perfusion index (PI) measured by pulse oximetry reflects vasomotor tone which affects the degree of hypotension after spinal anesthesia. This is a non-invasive method of assessing the relative vascular tone with the use of pulse oximeter which calculates the ratio of pulsatile versus the non-pulsatile component of the blood flow. A lower PI indicates greater peripheral vasomotor tone. Pleth variability index (PVI) is calculated using maximum and minimum values of perfusion index during respiratory cycles. PVI is one of the dynamic indices that can predict fluid responsiveness. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the PI and PVI values at different patient positions can predict hypotension during caesarean section.

Acute kidney injury is one of major adverse postoperative complications. research about postoperative acute kidney injury conclude that low preoperative albumin and intraoperative hypotension is associated to postoperative acute kidney injury. However, due to ethic issue and nonlinear realtionship between these factors and postoperative acute kidney injury, the exact threshold of these two risk factors were not be able to identified. The research tried to locate the exact threshold with implementation of penalized splines by generalized additive model.
