Active clinical trials for "Hypotension"

The most common methods for prevention of post-induction hypotension are preoperative fluid loading and vasopressors. Leg elevation induces an intrinsic transfusion of 150 mL blood from the lower limbs to the central fluid compartment. Leg elevation was previously reported by our group to decrease the incidence of maternal hypotension after spinal anesthesia for caesarean delivery. Passive leg raising was also reported to provide a stable hemodynamic profile during induction of anesthesia for cardiac surgery. Head-down position was previously reported as a useful measure for management of hypovolemia in various patient groups. No studies to the best of our knowledge had evaluated the compare both positions (leg elevation position and head-down position) during induction of anesthesia in non-cardiac surgery

The main aim of the investigator's study is to propose combination of local anesthetics and adjuvants that provides both adequate anesthesia during surgery and prolonged post-operative analgesia.

Spinal anesthesia induces sympathetic blockade and venodilation, thus reducing venous return and the cardiac output. Therefore, assessment of intravascular volume deficit before anesthesia might predict a critical decrease in blood pressure after anesthesia. Recently, ultrasonographic evaluation of the internal jugular vein (IJV) has been used to reflect intravascular volume status and fluid and as a predictor of hypotension after induction of general anesthesia. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) has been used to predict atherosclerosis-related events, such as stroke, myocardial infarction, peripheral artery disease, and hypotension after induction of anesthesia with a cut-off value of 0.65 mm of CIMT as a threshold level.

The Hypotension Prediction Index via the Edwards Hemosphere advanced monitoring system is monitored in living donor liver transplantation recipients. The Hypotension Prediction Index is analyzed to verify the performance in predicting hypotensive events.

Hypotension is a recognized frequent complication of induction of anesthesia. The intent of this research is to determine the incidence of hypotension in patients receiving anesthetic induction with propofol. This investigation seeks to examine how normal clinical practice or a "real world" understanding of the usual response to propofol affects hemodynamics without isolating or standardizing other variables. The current research concerns hypotension in normal clinical practice where variability exists. This project aims to gather information and data in an attempt to form a foundation upon which each of the other variables affecting blood pressure may be subsequently assessed.

The purpose of the study is to test whether hypotensive episodes during dialysis - caused by withdrawal of fluid drom the circulation - can be predicted by means of two harmless monitoring techniques.

The investigators designed this study to determine the predictive value for predicting fluid responsiveness of noninvasive evaluation of respiratory variation of peak velocity in brachial artery, in mechanically ventilated patients with acute circulatory failure.

To explore the relationship of intraoperative hypotension and perioperative cardiovascular complications in elderly noncardiac surgical patients

Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a significant complication following non-cardiac surgery. We sought to evaluate incidence of perioperative MI, its preoperative - and intraoperative - risk factors and outcomes after this complication.
