HYPOTENSION

This study tested whether giving norepinephrine early during major abdominal surgery could prevent drops in blood pressure and reduce organ problems afterward. 500 adults aged 50 and older took part. One group received norepinephrine early, while the other received the standard d…

This study tested a device called the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) to see if it can reduce low blood pressure during planned C-sections. Low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia can harm both mother and baby. The device alerts doctors before blood pressure drops, so they …

This study tested two drugs, dexmedetomidine and nitroglycerin, to see which one better reduces bleeding during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). 66 adults having elective FESS were randomly assigned to receive one of the drugs to lower blood pressure and improve the su…

This study looked at whether ondansetron, a drug often used for nausea, can reduce dangerous drops in blood pressure and heart rate in older adults (65+) undergoing spinal anesthesia for urologic surgery. Researchers tracked 140 patients to see if those who received ondansetron h…

This study looked at whether intentionally lowering blood pressure during nose surgeries (like rhinoplasty) might cause hidden kidney injury. Researchers measured two sensitive kidney biomarkers (NGAL and cystatin C) in 35 adults before and after surgery. The goal was to detect e…

This study looked at whether a simple, non-invasive ultrasound of the internal jugular vein in the neck can help predict a dangerous drop in blood pressure (hypotension) after spinal anesthesia in elderly patients. The study included 70 people aged 65 and older undergoing electiv…

This study looked at whether giving spinal anesthesia quickly (15 seconds) or slowly (90 seconds) changes blood pressure and heart function in elderly patients with hip fractures. Eighty-four patients were randomly assigned to one of the two speeds. The researchers measured blood…

This study tested whether teaching dialysis staff and providing support to patients could reduce episodes of dangerously low blood pressure during treatment. Over 1,400 patients across multiple clinics took part. The goal was to make dialysis sessions safer and more stable.

This study looked at 101 adults having elective spine surgery to compare two medicines (norepinephrine and phenylephrine) used to keep blood pressure stable during the operation. The main goal was to see how much of each drug was needed. Researchers also checked if either drug le…

This study looked at over 3,600 adults having major surgery to find out which of two blood pressure drugs (norepinephrine or phenylephrine) works best to prevent complications like kidney injury or death. Patients received one of the two drugs during their operation. The goal was…

This study tested whether using automatic pumps to switch syringes of noradrenalin (a drug that raises blood pressure) reduces the risk of hypotension compared to manual swaps. Fifty intensive care patients receiving noradrenalin were monitored. The goal was to see if automatic r…

This pilot study tested a new blood pressure monitor (ClearSight HPI) in 34 healthy pregnant women receiving epidural pain relief during labor. The goal was to see if the device helps nurses detect and treat low blood pressure faster than standard monitoring. The study focused on…
