Active clinical trials for "Hypotension"

Robot assisted urological procedures are often long surgical cases that can potentially result in complicated postoperative hospital course. The amount of intravenous (IV) fluids administered to patients during these operations fluctuates based on the length of the case, surgical blood loss, hemodynamic monitors, and the discretion of the anesthesiologist. The goal of intraoperative fluid therapy is to maintain optimal tissue perfusion without causing fluid overload. We plan to use a goal directed fluid therapy protocol to optimize fluid status and analyze post-operative outcomes.

Hypotension will often complicate induction of anaesthesia. The investigators want to test the hypothesis that Target Controlled Infusion, as opposed to Velocity Controlled Infusion, leads to less degree of hypotension.

Deliberate hypotension is used to provide bloodless field during endoscopic sinus surgery; however, hypotension might impair perfusion of vital organs. The aim of this work is to compare the impact of nitroglycerin and labetalol on peripheral perfusion when used for induction of deliberate hypotension

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of hyperbaric 5 mg bupivacaine + fentanyl 25 mcg versus hyperbaric 7.5 mg bupivacaine + fentanyl 25 mcg to lower incidence of hypotension

Kidney failure can result from a variety of conditions and can be temporary or permanent. Hemodialysis is available as a replacement treatment to perform the work that the kidneys normally do. However, the dialysis procedure can be associated with rapid changes in the composition of the blood - this may lead to changes in blood pressure and in turn reduced blood supply to important parts of the body. We aim to investigate if giving a medicine (called mannitol) during dialysis may be able to reduce the frequency of these low blood pressure events.

The effects on brain perfusion of the two currently vasopressors used to treat accidental hypotension occurring during carotid surgery (i.e. ephedrine and phenylephrine) is not known, but a disadvantage to use phenylephrine is suspected, due to its mechanism of action and according to published reports

Older persons with diabetes have a harder time maintaining blood pressure when standing up. When blood pressure drops when standing up, fainting may occur. This study will see how regular exercise can improve the ability of the body to keep blood pressure up when standing. We want to see how this improvement varies with a home-based walking program.

Orthostatic hypotension (OH), which consists in a significant reduction in blood pressure levels upon standing from a seated position, may affect approximately one in three patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). It usually presents as dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling faint, or feeling like you might black out while standing. This can significantly impact the quality of life (QoL) of PD patients, resulting in difficulties with balance, walking, and increased risk of falls. The main aim of this study is to evaluate whether the use of technological devices (a computerized system for analyzing abnormalities in walking in clinical settings and a wearable sensor to detect changes in postural unsteadiness in the home environment) may improve the detection of complications and the response to medical therapies for OH in patients with PD.

Research objective: To explore the safety and dose exploration of Remimazolam Tosilate for Injection for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in elective short-term surgery in adults. Main research indicators:(1)Success rate of sedation during induction and maintenance of general anesthesia with remazolam tosylate;(2)The incidence and severity of hypotension in the induction and maintenance phases Study design: Multi-center, randomized, double-blind clinical study. Subject population: patients undergoing elective short-term surgery. Research data collection period: The subject signs the consent form until discharge or death in the hospital or withdrawal from the research. Number of research centers/sample size: It is planned to enroll 600 patients from 11 hospitals. Research process: The researchers will include patients who meet the enrollment criteria and agree to participate in the investigation of the support laryngoscope surgery and minor head and neck surgery patients from the elective surgery patients.

50 million patients undergo surgery each year in the United States. Postoperative mortality is considered the third leading cause of death worldwide. Hypotension during surgery have been linked to increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. Episodes of hypotension during surgery are associated with an increased risk of acute kidney injury, stroke, cardiac events and death. Treating or preventing hypotension during general anesthesia and major surgery was found to improve outcomes. At this time, it is unclear what is the best vasopressor to maintain blood pressure during surgery under general anesthesia. With this pilot pragmatic trial, the investigators will explore the impact of norepinephrine (NE) or phenylephrine (PE) on post-operative events in patients undergoing major surgery with general anesthesia and needing vasopressors infusion to maintain their systemic arterial pressure.
