HYPOTENSION

This study tested two drugs, norepinephrine and phenylephrine, to treat low blood pressure during major surgery under general anesthesia. Over 3,600 adults having long surgeries (over 2 hours) took part. The goal was to see which drug leads to fewer serious problems like kidney i…

This study looked at giving a drug called norepinephrine early during major abdominal surgery to prevent low blood pressure and related complications. About 500 adults aged 50 and older having major abdominal surgery took part. The goal was to see if this approach reduces organ p…

This study tested whether teaching dialysis clinic staff and encouraging patients to speak up could reduce dangerous drops in blood pressure during treatment. Over 1,400 people with kidney failure took part across multiple clinics. The goal was to make dialysis sessions safer and…

This study tested two drugs, dexmedetomidine and nitroglycerin, to see which better reduces bleeding and improves the surgeon's view during sinus surgery. 66 adults having elective sinus surgery under general anesthesia took part. The goal was to find a more effective and cost-ef…

This study tested whether using automatic syringe pumps instead of manual ones can reduce the risk of low blood pressure when changing a noradrenalin syringe in ICU patients. 50 adults receiving only noradrenalin were included. The main goal was to see if automatic relays cut the…

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

This study looked at 35 adults having nose surgeries like rhinoplasty or sinus surgery. Doctors often lower blood pressure during these surgeries to reduce bleeding. The study used special blood tests (NGAL and cystatin C) to check for early, hidden kidney injury that standard te…

This study tested whether a quick, non-invasive neck ultrasound before spinal anesthesia could predict dangerous drops in blood pressure in 70 elderly patients (over 65). The goal was to see if measuring the internal jugular vein's size change with leg raising could help doctors …

This small pilot study looked at whether a special monitor (ClearSight with HPI) can help nurses detect and treat low blood pressure faster in healthy women receiving epidural pain relief during labor. 34 women took part, and the study focused on how easy the device was to use an…

This study tested whether a tool called the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) can help prevent dangerously low blood pressure in the recovery room after surgery. Researchers compared standard monitoring to HPI-guided care in 210 adults having elective surgery. The goal was to se…

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 a broken hip. Eighty-four patients over age 65 took part. Researchers measured blood pressure and other heart measu…

This study looked at 101 adults having elective spine surgery to compare two drugs, norepinephrine and phenylephrine, used to keep blood pressure stable. The goal was to see which drug worked better and whether either affected kidney health after surgery. Results help doctors cho…
