Filter by:This is a randomized trial (1) investigating whether continuous non-invasive finger-cuff blood pressure monitoring reduces the area under a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 65 mmHg within the first 15 minutes of anesthetic induction compared to intermittent blood pressure monitoring using upper-arm cuff oscillometry in patients having non-cardiac surgery; and (2) investigating whether continuous non-invasive finger-cuff blood pressure monitoring reduces the time-weighted average for MAP <65 mmHg during the intraoperative period compared to intermittent blood pressure monitoring using upper-arm cuff oscillometry in patients having non-cardiac surgery.
Hypotension is common during spinal anesthesia and contributes to underperfusion and ischemia. Severe episodes of intraoperative hypotension is an independent risk factor for myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, acute kidney injury, prolonged hospital stay and increased one year mortality rates. Empiric fluid preloading can be done to decrease the incidence of hypotension but carries risk of fluid overload especially in elderly and cardiac patients. Inferior venacava ultrasonography (IVC USG) has been used in spontaneously breathing critically ill patients for volume responsiveness but there is limited data regarding its use for volume optimization in perioperative setting. The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of inferior venacava ultrasound to guide fluid management for prevention of hypotension after spinal anesthesia.
Evaluation of a novel mobile application designed to estimate blood pressure (systolic-diastolic and mean arterial pressure) based on collected optical signals on patient's finger treated in intensive care unit patients
The incidence of hypotension after spinal anesthesia is approximately 60% in parturients undergoing cesarean section. As a consequence of hypotension, nausea-vomiting, dyspnea and neurological deterioration in patients and low Apgar scores in newborns may occur. Therefore, there is an increasing interest to prevent maternal post spinal hypotension by using several drugs including noradrenaline given in different protocols to the patients undergoing spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. However, there is no conclusive answer to the question of which dosage is the best to prevent the maternal post spinal hypotension in literature. In this prospective randomized study, we aimed to compare different noradrenaline protocols for preventing maternal post spinal hypotension during elective cesarean delivery.
This is a prospective observational study done in parturient planned for non-elective caesarean section. Association between shock index (HR/SBP) and post-spinal hypotension in parturient undergoing non-elective caesarean section will be evaluated in this research.
The influence of hemodynamic aberrations during anesthesia on adverse outcomes is an important clinical issue. There is evidence that hypotension and hypertension during general anesthesia are independently associated with adverse outcomes in patients having both noncardiac and cardiac surgery.One of the intervals of general anesthesia during which hypotension is prevalent is the period after the induction of anesthesia but before the onset of surgical stimulation. This period is particularly prone to decreased vigilance with regard to hemodynamic changes. Statistically significant predictors of hypotension 0-10 min after anesthetic induction included: ASA III-V, baseline MAP <70 mm Hg, age > or =50 years, the use of propofol for induction of anesthesia, and increasing induction dosage of fentanyl.While the potential preoperative factors associated with hypotension 5-10 min after the induction of anesthesia in patients with ASA I-II included baseline MAP 70 mm Hg, age > 50 years, use of propofol during induction, and magnitude of fentanyl dose during induction. Perfusion index (PI) is a relatively new parameter estimating the pulsatility of blood in the extremities, calculated using infrared spectrum as part of plethysmography waveform processing. It is a simple,cost-effective and non-invasive method of assessing peripheral perfusion determined by the percentage of pulsatile to non-pulsatile blood flow in the extremities. PI indicates the status of the microcirculation which is densely innervated by sympathetic nerves, and therefore, is affected by multiple factors responsible for vasoconstriction or vasodilatation of the microvasculature.It is an indicator of systemic vascular resistance (SVR). PI is said to be useful in monitoring depth of anesthesia, hypothermia, successful epidural placement in parturients, adequate relief from ureteric obstruction, response to fluid therapy in critically ill and intraoperative patients and adequacy of circulation in newborn.The value of PI is inversely related to the vascular tone, though not in a linear fashion. Therefore, vasodilatation reflecting higher baseline PI has been associated with reductions in blood pressure (BP) following spinal anesthesia.The resting SVR can influence incidence and severity of post-spinal hypotension in parturients. It has been established that a positive correlation between pre-anesthetic plethysmographic variability index (PVI) and reduction in BP following induction of anesthesia using propofol in healthy adults, that is, higher PVI was associated with more mean arterial pressure (MAP) reductions. Similarly, a significant proportion of hypotension after induction of anesthesia with propofol can be attributed to the baseline SVR. Mehandale SG. and Rajasekhar P. underwent A prospective observational study on fifty adults for the use of Perfusion index as a predictor of hypotension following propofol induction and revealed that a baseline PI <1.05 predicted incidence of hypotension at 5 min with sensitivity 93%, specificity 71%, positive predictive value (PPV) 68% and negative predictive value (NPV) 98%. the hypothesised was that it is possible to define a threshold baseline value of PI that predicts hypotension based on individual's pre-induction SVR in patients > 65 years old following anesthetic induction with propofol and fentanyl as multifactorial risk for postinduction hypotension. Outcomes: A cut-off value of baseline PI below which hypotension at 5 min post induction could be predicted will be the primary outcome, while positive and negative predictive values at 15 minutes will be secondary outcomes.
In this study, the investigators will monitor patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment with a non-invasive wearable PPG-based device. Measurements will include blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, stroke volume, cardiac output, cardiac index and systemic vascular resistance, among others. The aim is to diagnose intradialytic hypotension more rapidly than with current noninvasive methods and prevent related poor outcomes.
This is a prospective, nonrandomized multi-center study for the investigation of noninvasive sphygmomanometers. The purpose of the study is to validate the clinical performance of the Masimo noninvasive blood pressure device compared to reference auscultatory measurements.
All over the world, spinal anesthesia is widely used in cesarean sections due to its superiority over general anesthesia. Due to reasons such as increased sensitivity to local anesthetics and increased intra-abdominal pressure in pregnant women, the frequency of hypotension increases by up to 70%. As a result of the blockage of sympathetic vasoconstrictor fibers originating from T1-L2 segments, loss of peripheral resistance, venous ponding occurs, and cardiac output decreases. Also, the level required for cesarean operation is T4 or T5, and the possibility of affecting the cardiac accelerator fibers, so bradycardia due to the increase in parasympathetic activity may deepen the hypotension. If postspinal hypotension is not managed correctly, it may lead to maternal and fetal complications. In addition to classical methods such as fluid loading and prophylactic vasoconstrictor application to prevent hypotension in pregnant women after spinal anesthesia, techniques such as wrapping the lower extremity, lifting, or applying both together have been in question. Passive leg raise application is an easy method that allows the blood collected in the lower part of the body to participate in the central circulation with the effect of gravity. An increase in venous return occurs with the passage of blood from the lower extremities to the thorax. Thus, it leads to an increase in stroke volume and an increase in cardiac output. In this study, we aimed to determine the effectiveness of passive leg raising in preventing or reducing the depth of hypotension after spinal anesthesia in pregnant women who underwent cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
