HEMODYNAMIC INSTABILITY

This study tested whether a drug called Polaramine can prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure when patients are taken off a heart-lung machine during aortic valve replacement. The trial enrolled 18 men and postmenopausal women. Researchers measured heart rate balance and other…

This study tested whether wearing virtual reality glasses during chest tube removal after open heart surgery can lower pain and keep heart rate and blood pressure stable. 82 adults on their second or third day after surgery took part. The goal was to see if a simple, drug-free di…

This study tested a special anesthesia and pain management plan for 70 older adults (age 60+) having heart surgery. The goal was to see if it could lower confusion after surgery, keep blood pressure stable, and reduce pain and opioid use. Researchers measured blood markers of bra…

This study tested whether giving high-flow oxygen through the nose during a sedated ERCP procedure can prevent low oxygen levels better than standard low-flow oxygen. One hundred adults and older patients took part. The goal was to see which method keeps oxygen levels safer and r…

This study tested whether acupressure, a technique that applies pressure to specific points on the body, can reduce anxiety in 60 patients before bladder removal surgery (cystectomy). Researchers measured anxiety levels and vital signs like blood pressure and heart rate. The goal…

This study tested whether giving mannitol (a type of sugar solution) during dialysis can help prevent low blood pressure and reduce symptoms like dizziness or nausea. It involved 31 adults who were prone to low blood pressure during their regular dialysis sessions. Each person re…

This study looked at 30 adults who had brain surgery for a bleeding stroke and needed blood pressure control in the ICU. Researchers compared two IV drugs, nicardipine and labetalol, to see which one controlled blood pressure and heart rate better during the first 24 hours after …

This study looked at 39 intensive care patients with acute kidney failure who needed dialysis to remove extra fluid. Researchers tested three different fluid removal rates to see which one caused the fewest dangerous drops in blood pressure while still effectively managing fluid …

This study looked at 30 intensive care patients with septic shock to see how a drug called norepinephrine affects both large and tiny blood vessels. Doctors already use a measure called ScvO2 to check large blood vessels, but they wanted to see if a new tool measuring tissue oxyg…

This study looked at how different levels of pressure from a breathing machine (ventilator) affect the heart's ability to pump blood in children under 5 who have congenital heart disease. Researchers measured changes in heart output and function in 58 children. The goal was to fi…

This study looked at whether measuring the jugular vein and using shock indices can predict a dangerous drop in blood pressure after spinal anesthesia in planned C-sections. Researchers studied 60 pregnant women to see if these simple tests could help doctors catch and manage low…

This study looked at 48 adults having major abdominal surgery to see if preventing low blood pressure helps keep the brain's oxygen levels stable. One group received standard care, while the other used a special monitoring system to avoid drops in blood pressure. The goal was to …
