U.S., April 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07529795) titled 'Low-dose Norepinephrine Infusion for Prevention of Post-induction Hypotension in Emergency Surgery for Peritonitis' on March 29.
Brief Summary: This study tests whether giving a low-dose norepinephrine infusion just before induction of anesthesia can reduce low blood pressure during emergency surgery for peritonitis. Adults with secondary peritonitis who are scheduled for emergency surgery and have stable blood pressure after initial resuscitation will be randomly assigned to receive either norepinephrine or placebo (normal saline) during induction of anesthesia.
