The Hemodynamic Effects of Vasopressin in Patients With Fontan Physiology
The goal of this study is to evaluate if vasopressin can elevate systemic arterial blood pressures without having a significant effect on pulmonary arterial pressures. Because patients who have undergone Fontan procedures rely on low pressures across the pulmonary vascular bed to maintain cardiac output, vasoactive agents that concomitantly increase …

Therapeutic Study Evaluating the Efficacy of Noradrenaline in the Prevention of Hypotension Related to Intubation for Cardiac or Thoracic Surgery (EPITUBE-HEART)
Arterial hypotension during general anaesthesia (GA) is a serious event. While hypotension can occur during surgery, it usually occurs following induction of GA (i.e. following the injection of drugs to enable intubation). This is due to the injection of large doses of anaesthetic drugs with a vasodilatory effect over a …

Effects of Midodrine and Droxidopa on Splanchnic Capacitance in Autonomic Failure
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of midodrine and droxidopa, two medications used for the treatment of orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure on standing), on the veins of the abdomen of patients with autonomic failure. The study will be conducted at Vanderbilt University Medical …

Effect of EEG-guided General Anesthesia on Cumulative Dose of Norepinephrine
Intraoperative hypotension is common in patients having non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia and is associated with major postoperative complications including myocardial injury, AKI, and death. Intraoperative hypotension is also common in patients having vascular surgery. To treat intraoperative hypotension, vasopressors - such as norepinephrine - and fluids are used. However, …
