NCT ID NCT04789330

Summary

This study aimed to find out which of two common medications is better for maintaining a patient's blood pressure during major surgery. Researchers compared norepinephrine and phenylephrine in over 3,600 adults undergoing long operations to see which drug led to fewer serious complications after surgery, like kidney injury, heart problems, or death. The goal was to gather evidence to help doctors choose the safest option for patients.
