Registration Number
NCT06968091
Lead Sponsor
Zhejiang Cancer Hospital
Brief Summary

This study investigated the effect of Trendelenburg position on preventing post-induction hypotension in elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery with general anesthesia. The patients will receive the 10° Trendelenburg position or supine position during anesthesia induction. The primary outcome is the area under a mean arterial pressure (MAP) below 65 mm Hg within the first 15 minutes during anesthesia induction.

The area under the curve of the mean arterial pressure being lower than 50 mmHgwithin 15 minutes after anesthesia induction
The area under the curve of the mean arterial pressure being lower than 40 mmHgwithin 15 minutes after anesthesia induction
The duration during which the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is less than 65 mmHgwithin 15 minutes after anesthesia induction
The duration during which the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is less than 60 mmHgwithin 15 minutes after anesthesia induction
The duration during which the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is less than 50 mmHgwithin 15 minutes after anesthesia induction
The duration during which the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is less than 40 mmHgwithin 15 minutes after anesthesia induction
The usage of vasoactive drugswithin 15 minutes after anesthesia induction and during the whole process of the surgery

The vasoactive drugs are selected from the following according to the protocol: phenylephrine, ephedrine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.

The lowest mean arterial pressurewithin 15 minutes after anesthesia induction
The dosage of propofol during the anesthesia induction periodwithin 15 minutes after anesthesia induction
The dosage of remifentanil during the anesthesia induction periodwithin 15 minutes after anesthesia induction
the postoperative recoveryon postoperative day 1

The postoperative recovery is assessed using the quality of recovery-15 questionnaire (QoR-15) .The QoR-15 has 15 questions. Each question is rated on a 10-point scale, ranging from 0 (none of the time or poor) to 10 (all of the time or excellent). The maximum score (best recovery) is 150.

The incidence of refractory hypotensionwithin 15 minutes after anesthesia induction

If either of the following two definitions is met, it is considered refractory hypotension:

1. During the anesthesia induction period, the total administered dosage exceeds the maximum dose, and the patient's hypotension does not recover. The maximum usage dose of ephedrine is 0.5 mg/kg (ideal body weight), and the maximum usage dose of phenylephrine is 8 μg/kg (ideal body weight).

2. When two or more vasoactive drugs are used, the systolic blood pressure is less than 80 mmHg or the mean blood pressure is less than 65 mmHg continuously for more than 5 minutes.

The number of attempts at tracheal intubationthrough study completion, an average of 1-2times
The usage of other medications during the anesthesia induction periodwithin 15 minutes after anesthesia induction

The usage of medications other than propofol, remifentanil, phenylephrine, ephedrine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.

The VIDIAC score of the video laryngoscope.through study completion, an average of -1~1 points

The VIDIAC score is comprised of: E, the interaction between the blade tip and epiglottis; V, the best view of the vocal cords from the blade camera; and A, enlargement of the arytenoids. The score range of the VIDIAC score is from -1 to 5 points. The VIDIAC score classification is as follows: Easy, with a score of -1 or 0; Moderate, with a score of 1; Difficult, with a score of 2; Severe, with a score of ≥3.
