Filter by:This study is being done to determine if early administration of Midodrine can improve outcomes by maintaining a higher mean blood pressure off of intravenous medications. Researchers want to see if Midodrine can help people with sepsis need fewer vasopressors, which could mean shorter hospital stays, less time with uncomfortable tubes, and a smoother recovery overall.
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.
This is a randomized trial investigating the effect of oscillometric blood pressure monitoring at 2.5-minute intervals - compared to 5-minute intervals - on intraoperative hypotension. Specifically, the investigators will test the primary hypothesis that oscillometric blood pressure monitoring at 2.5-minute intervals - compared to 5-minute intervals - reduces the time-weighted average mean arterial pressure below 65 mmHg in patients having non-cardiac surgery.
The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of low dose of norepinephrine in preperiod of hypotensive resuscitation in hemorrhagic shock.
In order to reduce the incidence of IOH, various goal-directed therapy (GDT) protocols have already been introduced with success regarding the reduction of postoperative AKI and MINS. However, these studies used an invasive hemodynamic monitoring which offered a continuous surveillance of the blood pressure. In contrast, standard non-invasive blood pressure monitoring results in a blind gap between two measurements (mostly three or five minutes). In order to address this limitation, different continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring devices have been introduced. The next evolutional step of non-invasive cardiac output monitoring was to prevent IOH before their onset by using the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI). Based on the Edward ́s monitoring platform, HPI is a monitoring tool which aims to predict IOH (defined as MAP<65 mmHg for at least one minute) up to 15 min before its onset. The underlying machine learning based algorithm uses analyses features from the pressure waveform and was first calculated from a large retrospective data set of surgical patients and subsequently validated in a prospective cohort. In this study HPI showed a sensitivity of 88% and specificity of 87% for predicting IOH 15 min before its onset. Since then, own and studies of other working groups confirmed the effective prevention of IOH by the use of HPI-based GDT. Until today the arterial waveform analysis was dependent on invasive arterial measurement but since Edwards Lifesciences already promoted the start of the HPI on the ClearSight platform a non-invasive measurement will soon be possible. Further, until now it has not yet been proven that the perioperative use of a continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring has a beneficial effect on the patient´s outcome. Study objectives The aim of the study is to investigate whether a hemodynamic protocol based on continuous non-invasive cardiac output monitoring (ClearSight system) compared to standard care can reduce the incidence of IOH, postoperative AKI, and MINS in patients undergoing major trauma and orthopedic surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial was to compare the efficiencies of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measurement frequency in preventing intradialytic hypotension in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing regular hemodialysis. The main question aimed to answer about the optimum frequency of BIA measurements to prevent intradialytic hypotension. Participants underwent BIA measurements to determine their appropriate dry weight, and factors affecting intradialytic hypotension. Researchers compared the efficiencies of BIA measurements between the every-1-month group and the every-2-month group to prevent intradialytic hypotension.
This project investigates intentionally hypotensive management such as NTG (nitroglycerin) or NTG+Trandate during general anesthesia in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery. Throughout the entire surgical procedure, blood biochemical and urine monitoring will be conducted. Serum creatinine (Cr) levels, urine analysis, and perioperative monitoring will be utilized as indicators for assessing renal function during the surgery. The objective is to assess its potential renal injury and identify early risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI). Timely recognition of these factors will allow for the implementation of appropriate intervention strategies, aiding in the prevention of postoperative acute kidney injury. This approach contributes to achieving the goals of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) for surgical patients, promoting faster postoperative recovery.
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.
