View clinical trials related to Hypotension on Induction.
Filter by:C-section is one of the commonly performed surgical procedures. During this surgical procedure the surgeon cuts into uterine cavity through abdominal wall and takes out the baby. This is done by by making the lower half body of the patient numb by injecting local anesthesia drugs into the space surrounding the spinal cord. This allows the mother to remain awake and immediately bond with the baby once it gets delivered. Also this technique provides effective pain relief both during and after the surgery. However like any other technique or drug it is associated with a number of side effects. The most important being fall in blood pressure. There are numerous ways to treat it. However if one is able to predict fall in blood pressure before administration of anesthetic technique one can easily prevent it. One of the recently discovered novel way to predict fall in blood pressure is Perfusion index which is calculated by Pulse oximeter. It is a device use to check amount of oxygen in blood and heart rate. Perfusion index refers to the total amount of blood present in the limbs of the person. Once we administer drug in the space surrounding the spinal cord the amount of blood in the limbs increases while the amount returning to heart decreases which ultimately results in less amount of blood being pumped out by heart resulting in fall in blood pressure. Therefore theoretically those individuals who have a high baseline Perfusion index will more likely to develop low blood pressure. This study aims to identify the cut off value of perfusion index to predict fall in blood pressure.
This study is being conducted to find out if a special device called FloPatch™, which sticks to a persons skin and uses ultrasound to check the blood flow in their neck, can tell if someone going to have low blood pressure after they get put to sleep for surgery. The investigators will be testing this in adults who are having elective non-heart surgery. Basically, the goal is to see if this device can help predict who might have low blood pressure during surgery. Hypotension is a common side-effect of general anesthesia induction, and is related to adverse outcomes, including significantly increasing risk of one-year mortality. Even short durations of intraoperative hypotension have been associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) and myocardial injury. Myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) is a common postoperative complication associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, and intraoperative hypotension is believed to be involved in its development. In the preoperative setting, a systematic review of 50 studies (2,260 patients) evaluating techniques to assess adult patients with refractory hypotension or signs of organ hypoperfusion found that half of all patients were fluid-responsive, pointing to volume status as a significant risk factor, while also presenting a challenge in distinguishing fluid-responders from non-responders. For surgical patients, preoperative fasting, hypertonic bowel preparations, anesthetic agents, and positive pressure ventilation all contribute to reduced effective circulating blood volume. Optimized fluid therapy remains the cornerstone of treatment of hypovolemia, with excellent effectiveness. Since the liberal use of fluids may result in fluid overload, which is associated with the development of pulmonary edema, wound infection, postoperative ileus, and anastomotic leakage, it is imperative to identify those patients who may benefit from it. The hypothesis is that the corrected Flow Time (cFT) measured by the FloPatch will help predict hypotension after the induction of general anesthesia.
Post-induction hypotension (PIH) is a common occurrence during the period from induction of general anesthesia to initiation of incision. PIH has been identified as an independent risk factor for postoperative major complications. Identifying high-risk patients for PIH could potentially help prevent its occurrence. Several risk factors associated with PIH have been identified, including patient conditions and use of specific anesthetic agents. Ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) is evaluated using the ratio Ea/Ees and represents the interaction between the left ventricle (LV) and the arterial system. It reflects how changes in LV contractility (Ees) and changes in arterial load (Ea) work together to maintain optimal LV performance. A study aims to investigate the relationship between preoperative Ea/Ees ratio and the incidence of PIH (defined as MAP < 65 mmHg).
Perioperative anesthesiologists can benefit from easily obtainable hemodynamic variables detecting or quantifying the lack of an adequate compensatory capacity of the cardiovascular system in order to optimize patient management and improve patient outcomes. Parameters of the Pressure Recording Analytical Method (PRAM; Vygon, Padua, Italy) of the MostCare system, specifically cardiac cycle efficiency has been proposed as such variables. Yet, their value in anesthesia and especially in hypertensive patients is not studied. The goal of the PRAM-in-HYPO study is to prospectively evaluate the relationship between cardiac reserve and efficiency and cardiovascular risk factors in patients wo will undergo major surgical procedures using the state-of-the-art hemodynamic monitors. Also the investigators aim to build a predictive model to identify patients with decreased cardiac reserve due to hypertension and other cardiovascular risk factors, who are susceptible to post-induction hypotension. The investigators seek to include high-risk patients or patients presenting for major surgery, who are monitored with an advanced hemodynamic monitor to adequately evaluate the differences in cardiac reserve and cardiac efficiency.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about Whether carotid ultrasound guided fluid management can reduce the incidence of hypotension after general anesthesia induction in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Whether fluid therapy reduces the incidence of general anaesthesia induced hypotension in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. Whether carotid ultrasound can guide fluid management in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. Participants will use carotid ultrasound to assess volume status. If volume is insufficient, fluid therapy will be selected until volume is sufficient, anesthesia will be then induced. If volume is sufficient, anesthesia will be directly induced. There is a comparison group: No carotid ultrasound will be used to assess the volume status of the patients, and anesthesia will be directly induced.
The primary objective of this observational study is to investigate the risk factors for intraoperative hypotension and identify the underlying pathomechanisms leading to it, both during the period after general anesthesia induction and throughout its course. The main questions it aims to answer are: - how frequent is intraoperative hypotension - what are the underlying pathomechanism causing it The study is including patients who have been identified as having a high risk of perioperative complications (ASA3 or ASA4). Patients included in the study undergo advanced hemodynamic monitoring during the procedure. Anesthesia induction, maintenance, and termination are conducted by an anesthesiologist in accordance with current medical knowledge, and the planned experiment does not in any way influence the course of action. Investigators will analyse medical documentation, including the patient's medical history, anesthesia records, and hemodynamic parameter data obtained from the hemodynamic monitor (an Excel file containing comprehensive data related to specific cardiovascular parameters) to describe the incidence of intraoperative hypotension and answer key questions in accordance with the designed study protocol.
In this clinical proof-of-concept study, the aim is to investigate the efficacy of a hypotension avoidance strategy to prevent post-induction hypotension. Specifically, it will be investigate how much postinduction hypotension occurs when using a hypotension avoidance strategy - combining continuous intraarterial blood pressure monitoring, careful administration of anesthetic drugs, and continuous administration of norepinephrine to treat hypotension - in high-risk patients having elective non-cardiac surgery.
The goal of this observational study is to develop a computation model for accurately predicting post-induction hypotension in patients receiving laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • whether the corresponding characteristics on pressure wave forms could be use to predict post-induction hypotension. Participants will be observed before and after induction of general anesthesia for non-invasive arterial pressure wave forms and blood pressure changes.
Remimazolam is a newly introduced intravenous anesthetic, with rapid onset and offset. Although it is known to cause less hemodynamic instability, the incidence hypotension is the one of the most frequent adverse events with its use. For anesthetic induction, remimazolam can be used either as bolus dose or as continuous infusion. This study is aimed to investigate the incidence of hypotension after anesthetic induction with bolus (0.14-0.33 mg/kg) or continuous (12 mg/kg/hr) remimazolam administration.
Hypotension occurs frequently after anesthesia induction and is more frequent in patients with chronic renal insufficiency. This hypotension occurs most frequently during the 20 minutes after anesthesia induction. Hypotension is commonly corrected by ephedrine bolus injection. However, presynaptic noradrenaline reserve may be lower in patients with chronic renal insufficiency rendering this treatment less effective. Another drug commonly used is norepinephrine, which action is independent of presynaptic noradrenaline storage. The primary hypothesis is that in patients with chronic renal insufficiency, bolus injection of norepinephrine will be more effective then ephedrine injections to correct hypotension after anesthesia induction. 60 patients with a glomerular filtration rate less than 45 mL/min/m2 (KDIGO classification less than grade 3b) will be included in this prospective double blind trial. All patients will be anesthetized by target-controlled infusion of propofol adjusted to a patient state index (Measured by Sedline, Masimo) of 25-50. Sufentanil injection will be based on noxious stimuli according to the attending anesthesiologist's judgement. Non-invasive blood pressure will be measured at the pre-anesthesia clinic, before induction and every minute up to 20 minutes post anesthesia induction. Episodes of hypotension, defined as a mean arterial blood pressure less than 65 mm Hg, will be treated either by a bolus injection of 6 mg ephedrine or a bolus injection of 6 mcg norepinephrine, which are equipotent doses. Seringues containing either ephedrine 3 mg/mL or norepinephrine 3 mcg/mL will be prepared by an anesthesia nurse not involved in the care of the patient and labeled as "VASO-IRC-inclusion number". Randomization will be done by a computer generated list in a block randomization of 5. Primary outcome is the number of boluses needed to maintain arterial blood pressure above a mean of 65 mm Hg.
