Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Effective dose of ephedrine for treatment of hypotension after induction of general anaesthesia in neonates and infants less than 6 months of age: a multicentre randomised, controlled, open label, dose escalation trial.
The recommended dose of ephedrine in adults (0.1 mg kg-1) frequently fails to treat hypotension after induction of general anaesthesia in neonates and infants less than 6 months of age. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal dose of ephedrine in this population for the treatment of hypotension after induction of general anaesthesia with sevoflurane. ⋯ NCT02384876.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Norepinephrine versus phenylephrine for treating hypotension during general anaesthesia in adult patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery: a multicentre, open-label, cluster-randomised, crossover, feasibility, and pilot trial.
Intraoperative hypotension is associated with postoperative complications. The use of vasopressors is often required to correct hypotension but the best vasopressor is unknown. ⋯ NCT04789330 (ClinicalTrials.gov).
