Filter by:Comparative Study between the Perfusion Index and Positional Haemodynamic Changes for Prediction of Hypotension after Spinal Anaesthesia in Caesarean Section
Postprandial hypotension (PPH) and post-induction hypotension (PIH) are very common in the elderly population and are associated with a variety of poor outcomes.The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between PPH and perioperative adverse events such as PIH in the elderly.
This study is a randomized, controlled trial. A total of 72 patients will be randomized to receive remimazolam anesthesia or balanced anesthesia (propofol + desflurane) during extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery.
This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of prophylactic intraoperative norepinephrine infusion versus the standard technique on decreasing the incidence of intraoperative hypotension in infants undergoing Kasai portoenterostomy operation.
Comparison of two practices of obstetrical services between the CHU of Clermont Ferrand and the HFME Lyon-Bron in the management of arterial hypotension during an elective cesarean section
Although there is consensus in the literature on hemodynamic management of septic shock in the resuscitation phase, the best way to conduct the weaning of vasopressor drugs in the stabilization phase remains open. The present study aims to study the incidence of hypotension in the weaning phase of vasopressor drugs- norepinephrine and vasopressin.
Subarachnoid anesthesia is an alternative and usually the first choice for many surgical procedures. It is a simple and safe procedure, however it can present complications such as hypotension and bradycardia. In this sense, ephedrine, an alpha and beta agonist agent, commonly used as rescue therapy for these events, is also potentially useful for prophylaxis of this unwanted effect and for less hemodynamic variation when preventively administered via the intramuscular route. Two groups will be divided: intramuscular ephedrine (0.5 mg/kg) and placebo. The variables analyzed and compared will be the incidence of hypotension and bradycardia, variation in mean and systolic blood pressure, heart rate, in addition to side effects. The main objective is to verify if the use of intramuscular ephedrine prior to spinal block is able to reduce the incidence of hypotension.
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.
This study aims to learn about the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on people with autonomic failure and high blood pressure when lying down (supine hypertension) to determine if it can be used to treat their high blood pressure during the night. CPAP (a widely used treatment for sleep apnea) involves using a machine that blows air into a tube connected to a mask covering the nose, or nose and mouth, to apply a low air pressure in the airways. The study includes 3-5 days spent in the Vanderbilt Clinical Research Center (CRC): at least one day of screening tests, followed by up to 3 study days. Subjects may be able to participate in daytime and/or overnight studies. The Daytime study consists of 2 study days: one with active CPAP and one with sham CPAP applied for up to 2 hours. The Overnight study consists of 3 study nights: one with active CPAP, one with sham CPAP, both applied for up to 9 hours and one night sleeping with the bed tilted head-up.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the ED50 and ED90 for an effective 6% Hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) coload infusion dose for postspinal anesthesia hypotension in patients undergoing cesarean section.
