A Study of Changes in Heart Function and Blood Flow in People Receiving Anesthesia

Recruiting
Conditions
Anesthesia
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Echocardiography
Registration Number
NCT05954832
Lead Sponsor
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to understand changes in heart function (how the heart pumps blood) and blood flow in people who receive general anesthesia during surgery. The researchers are particularly interested in the heart function and blood flow changes in people who experience low blood pressure (hypotension) after receiving anesthesia.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The proportion of patients with post-induction hypotension (PIH)up to 20-mins after anesthesia induction.

summarize the distributions of the echocardiography parameter values (pre-load LVEDd(cm), after-load LVEDs(cm), other measures \[e.g., contractility (EF %) and structural abnormalities\]) across each timepoint among patients with and without PIH
