Study Overview

Brief Summary

The effects on brain perfusion of the two currently vasopressors used to treat accidental hypotension occurring during carotid surgery (i.e. ephedrine and phenylephrine) is not known, but a disadvantage to use phenylephrine is suspected, due to its mechanism of action and according to published reports

Detailed Description

This is a randomised trial comparing ephedrine and phenylephrine as used for accidental hypotension occurring during carotid surgery, on cerebral perfusion, assessed by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).
