Endovascular Carotid Surgery Clinical Trial
Official title:
Compared Efficacy and Tolerance of Two Vasopressors Used to Treat Preoperative Hypotension During Carotid Surgery. Prospective Randomised Controlled and Single Centre Trial
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
This is a randomised trial comparing ephedrine and phenylephrine as used for accidental hypotension occurring during carotid surgery, on cerebral perfusion, assessed by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). ;
