About this study

Official title: Second Affiliated Hosptial, School of Medicine, ZheJiang University

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the ED50 and ED95 of prophylactic norepinephrine infusion for preventing post-induction hypotension in elderly patients undergoing major abdominal surgery using up-and-down sequential method . The main question it aims to answer is:

What is the effective concentration of prophylactic norepinephrine infusion for preventing post-induction hypotension in elderly patients.

Participants will receive different concentrations of norepinephrine infusion at the beginning of anesthesia induction until 15 minutes after intubation.

Being tested
norepinephrine bitartrate

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • norepinephrine bitartrateDrug

    The treatment group will receive a continuous infusion of norepinephrine at the beginning of anesthesia induction until 15 minutes after intubation. The dosage of norepinephrine was decided by the up-and-down sequential allocation method with an initial dose of 0.05 µg/kg/min and a 0.005 µg/kg/min gradient.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of hypotension

    less than 80% baseline blood pressure less than 80% baseline blood pressure less than 80% baseline blood pressure

    Measured: 15 minutes after intubation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. incidence of bradycardia

    heart rate less than 50 beat per minute

    Measured: 15 minutes after intubation

  2. incidence of reactive hypertension

    increased mean arterial pressure by > 20% of the baseline reading

    Measured: 15 minutes after intubation
