To compare two infusion rates of norepinephrine for prophylaxis against post-spinal hypotension during caesarean delivery.
Intraoperative hypotension (IOH) is a sudden clinical phenomenon that occurs frequently during general anesthesia. Prevention of IOH has been linked to reduced postoperative organ damage and decreased incidence of perioperative complications. Oncological patients with reduced preoperative physiological reserves may be especially vulnerable to IOH deleterious effects, especially when exposed to prolonged surgical time increase, as it is the case for patients undergoing pancreatic surgery. The investigators aim to study introduction of a new technology able to predict hypotensive events (Hypotension Predictive Index, HPI Acumen™) in terms of its effects on IOH occurrence and burden in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery. The investigators will enroll patients before and after the introduction of HPI monitoring. Further, differences in postoperative outcomes and perioperative complications between before and after populations will be investigated.
The overall objective of this double blinded, randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to compare specific outcomes of three medications (Dexmedetomidine, Nicardipine, and Labetalol) which are routinely used to lower blood pressure used during general anesthesia for orthognathic (jaw) surgery. The outcome measures for the study will be surgical field visibility, estimated blood loss, hemodynamic parameters, operation time, and adverse events. The specific objectives of this study are to compare: 1. Dexmedetomidine, Nicardipine, and Labetalol's effect on the quality of the surgical field. (Primary Outcome) 2. Dexmedetomidine, Nicardipine, and Labetalol's effect on estimated blood loss. 3. Dexmedetomidine, Nicardipine, and Labetalol's effect on hemodynamic parameters including systolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate. 4. Dexmedetomidine, Nicardipine, and Labetalol's effect on operation time. 5. Dexmedetomidine, Nicardipine, and Labetalol's effect on adverse events. The investigators will evaluate healthy adult male and female patients who require jaw surgery at Boston Medical Center. The anticipated 90 participants will be randomized into three groups: ) A Labetalol group in which the patients receive hypotensive anesthesia with the aid of labetalol, 2) A Nicardipine group in which the patients receive hypotensive anesthesia with the aid of nicardipine, and 3) A Dexmedetomidine group in which the patients receive hypotensive anesthesia with the aid of dexmedetomidine. The time it will take for each individual participant ranges from 1-3 months. This time includes the pre-operative visit, the surgical procedure, a 1-week post-operation visit, and then followed for 30 days post-operatively after which the patient's participation in the study will conclude.
This study is a randomized, controlled trial. A total of 92 patients will be randomized to receive sufentanil or remifentanil during extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery.
The optimal vasopressor for ensuring organ blood flow and tissue oxygen delivery during surgery remains undetermined. This study aim to compare the effects of noradrenaline vs. phenylephrine infusion on blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain and various other organs in anesthetized neurosurgical patients.
Adequate free flap perfusion during Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction surgery requires maintaining blood pressure above 100 mmHg and avoiding excessive fluid administration. This study aims to determine whether the use of a measurement of preload dependency (Pulse Pressure Variation = PPV), can guide fluid therapy and if it decreases the risk of flap oedema. For this purpose, two fluid management strategies will be compared: - Static intraoperative fluid management: Administration of crystalloid fluids is limited to 5ml/kg/h - Dynamic intraoperative fluid management: Crystalloid fluids are only administered if PPV exceeds 12% The purpose of this study is to compare the static and dynamic (= targeted) fluid strategy and to evaluate the effect on flap oedema and flap perfusion.
Post induction hypotension is closely related to postoperative complications. Patients are at high risk of hypotension due to preexisting hypovolemia and the vasodilatory effects of induction agents. Ultrasonographic measurement of the Carotid artery corrected flow time and internal jugular vein collapsibility index may predict post induction hypotension.
Cirrhotic patients with sepsis represent a very sick subset of patients and septic shock in such patients is associated with high mortality. Early initiation of intravenous fluids and antibiotics is the key to management in these patients. The choice of fluid in cirrhotic patients with sepsis induced hypotension has been studied in the past. The choice of fluid, crystalloid vs colloid, for resuscitation in such patients has been a matter of debate. In the previous study, the ALPS trial, 20% albumin use was associated with a better reversal of hypotension but was associated with an increased incidence of pulmonary complications and 5% albumin was better when compared to normal saline(FRISC study) for fluid resuscitation. No study in the past has evaluated 5% albumin against 20% albumin in combination with crystalloid. Investigator aim to study the efficacy and safety of 20% albumin with plasmalyte against 5 % albumin for fluid resuscitation in cirrhotic patients with sepsis induced hypotension.
This is a prospective, randomized control trial comparing norepinephrine versus phenylephrine for vasopressor support in patients undergoing elective spinal fusion surgery.
