Doctors test drug doses to protect baby brains during surgery
NCT ID NCT02384876
Summary
This study aimed to find the best dose of a drug called ephedrine to quickly treat dangerously low blood pressure in babies under 6 months old during surgery. Low blood pressure under anesthesia is common in infants and may harm brain development. The trial tested different ephedrine doses in 120 babies to see which one most reliably raised blood pressure to a safe level within 10 minutes.
