The Hypotensive Effect of Propofol: an Observational Study
- Conditions
- HypotensionAnesthesia
- Registration Number
- NCT01508351
- Lead Sponsor
- Milton S. Hershey Medical Center
- Brief Summary
Hypotension is a recognized frequent complication of induction of anesthesia. The intent of this research is to determine the incidence of hypotension in patients receiving anesthetic induction with propofol. This investigation seeks to examine how normal clinical practice or a "real world" understanding of the usual response to propofol affects hemodynamics without isolating or standardizing other variables. The current research concerns hypotension in normal clinical practice where variability exists. This project aims to gather information and data in an attempt to form a foundation upon which each of the other variables affecting blood pressure may be subsequently assessed.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure. Within first 20 minutes after anesthesia induction The systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure will be measured every minute for twenty minutes. Blood pressure readings of Mean Arterial Pressure less than 65mmHg, Systolic Blood Pressure less than 80mmHg, or Diastolic Blood Pressure less than 40mmHg will be considered as hypotension.
