Filter by:Geriatric patients undergoing general anesthesia face a significant challenge, with the induction phase contributing to 50% of hypotensive events. Titrated anesthesia, involving gradual drug administration, suits elderly induction. However, propofol in titrated anesthesia tends to induce hypotension. In contrast, Ciprofol (HSK3486), a novel anesthetic, reduces hypotension during induction. This study compares hypotension incidences during induction and post-induction phases, agitation rates during recovery, perioperative awareness, postoperative delirium, and parameters in elderly patients induced with Ciprofol versus propofol through titrated anesthesia. The goal is to clarify a medically optimized anesthesia protocol for elderly patients during titrated anesthesia induction in general anesthesia.
We conducted a randomized trial to investigate whether the administration of Remimazolam in patients undergoing high-risk endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) could significantly reduce the occurrence of intraoperative hypotension, facilitate rapid induction, and result in fewer associated complications.
In this study, the investigators will evaluate cerebral blood flow before and after drug infusion using ultrasound to suggest blood pressure criteria and dosage of ephedrine, a vasopressor, to maintain adequate cerebral blood flow in neonates and infants undergoing surgery and anesthesia.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare norepinephrine and ephedrine in maintaining blood pressure during spinal anaesthesia for elective cesarean delivery. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do phenylephrine and norepinephrine administered as manually controlled continuous infusion during elective cesarean delivery have different effects on neonatal outcome ? - Do phenylephrine and norepinephrine administered as manually controlled continuous infusion during elective cesarean delivery have different effects on maternal hemodynamics? Participants will receive either phenylephrine or norepinephrine infusion, at the time of performing spinal anesthesia, the infusion rate will be adjusted manually depending on maternal arterial pressure.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare different types of advanced hemodynamic monitoring in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. Participants undergoing major abdominal surgery will receive anesthesia with two different types of hemodynamic monitoring - group A will receive arterial pressure cardiac output algorithm with the FloTrac sensor and group B will receive hemodynamic monitoring with the Hypotension Prediction Index. The main question the study aims to answer is: • will the hypotension prediction index algorithm reduce the rate of hypotension in comparison to arterial pressure cardiac output algorithm.
The goal of this medtech clinical trial is to develop and evaluate a machine learning algoritm to predict low blood pressure episodes during major surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Could a novel method for cardiac output estimation through alterations in carbon dioxide improve the performance of a blood pressure based algoritm in order to predict low blood pressure episodes during major abdominal surgery? - Will the predictive performance of the algoritm improve with the addition of other patient specific data? - Do the estimated cardiac output and central venous saturation by the novel method agree with our invasive arterial pressure method for cardiac output, and samples via a central venous line, respectively? 300 participants will be anesthetized with total intravenous anesthesia and ventilated with the novel carbon dioxide based method, and arterial and central venous blood gases will be taken regularly throughout the operation. All physiological data will be stored for later analyses and development of the algoritm by machine learning methods. No other invasive interventions will be performed outside our standard clinical peroperative protocol.
TAPSE, one of the methods for evaluating right ventricular systolic function; It is a bar parameter that can easily measure apex-basal shortening and provides specific information about global RV function. TAPSE/PASP can be calculated as load-independent parameters to evaluate RV function. Because RV function is sensitive to change in afterload, known as the RV-pulmonary circulation (PC) connection. This study aims to identify patients who are candidates for hypotensive events due to general anesthesia in a hemodynamically stable population.
Examining the advantages associated with the utilization of noradrenaline in preventing spinal hypotension during cesarean births. This involves assessing the positive outcomes and potential benefits derived from incorporating noradrenaline into the medical approach.
Neuraxial blockade such as spinal anaesthesia can cause severe hypotension due to pharmacological sympathectomy resulting in potential deleterious consequences for the patient, Prevention of this spinal anaesthesia induced hypotension is of utmost importance, Techniques currently in use for preventing hypotension include intravenous fluid prehydration, sympathomimetic drugs, and physical methods such as positioning and leg compression. Midodrine is an orally active α-adrenergic agonist ,Used in clinical management of patients with orthostatic hypotension or hypotension secondary to other clinical conditions or drug therapies. Midodrine is almost completely absorbed after oral administration and undergoes enzymatic hydrolysis to form its pharmacologically active metabolite, de-glymidodrine , causes venous and arterial vasoconstriction through stimulation of α1- receptors located in the vasculature, However ,Midodrine may cause several side effects as chills ,numbness , tingling ,paresthesia ,polyuria ,dysuria and headache. On the other hand, Norepinephrine is a vasoconstrictor that predominantly stimulates α1 receptors to cause peripheral vasoconstriction and increase blood pressure. It also has some β1 receptor agonist activity that results in a positive inotropic effect on the heart at higher doses. Norepinephrine also may cause side effects as headache, blurred vision, chest pain ,nervousness, bradycardia or tachycardia.
Background Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a common cause of falls, and key source of morbidity and mortality due to injury (e.g. hip fracture). Current guidelines recommend increasing salt intake in patients with symptomatic orthostatic hypotension. However, the evidence underpinning this recommendation is poor, based primarily on small trials with very short-term follow-up (< 6 weeks). Clinical Equipoise (Overall) High salt intake might improve quality of life and reduce the risk of falls, but might also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, in patients with OH. Specific Objective of Current Application (Aim) To determine feasibility (recruitment, retention and adherence) of conducting a randomized controlled trial evaluating high salt intake in older adults with symptomatic orthostatic hypotension. To determine preliminary estimates of the effect of high salt intake on disease-specific quality of life, orthostatic blood pressure (BP) parameters, and cardiac blood biomarkers. Design: Phase IIa, parallel, double-blind, randomised controlled, single centre clinical trial of 12 month follow-up duration. Population: Older adults (≥65 years of age) with an objective diagnosis of symptomatic orthostatic hypotension Intervention: The intervention will be 5g/day of salt supplementation in the form of encapsulated sodium chloride. Outcome measures: Primary outcome (Feasibility) recruitment and retention rates, adherence with intervention and study protocol, completeness of follow-up. Secondary Outcome (Efficacy): i) clinical: change in Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire score, modification/addition of OH pharmacotherapy, and falls events, ii) physiological measures of orthostasis: change in difference between supine and nadir systolic BP, standing BP at 1 minute, 24 hour mean BP measured by 24 hour ambulatory BP monitor, iii) cardiovascular biomarkers. Clinical Importance: A recommendation for long-term increases in salt intake may have adverse cardiovascular consequences, which necessitates the identification of the optimal range of salt intake associated with greatest reduction in falls risk and lowest cardiovascular risk. Our study will provide preliminary evidence of treatment effect and assess feasibility, to inform a definitive trial.
