-
Phenylephrine 75 micrograms versus 50 micrograms to prevent oxytocin-related low blood pressure during cesarean
This trial will test whether a 75 µg or 50 µg bolus of phenylephrine given with oxytocin better prevents drops in blood pressure in women having elective cesarean sections under spinal anesthesia.
-
Comparing pain relief from local anesthetic given inside the abdomen versus under the skin after laparoscopic gallbladder removal
This trial will try two ways of giving a local anesthetic—inside the abdomen or under the skin—to see which reduces pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal.
-
Driving-pressure guided ventilation versus lung-protective ventilation during elective laparoscopic surgery
We will test if adjusting the ventilator to keep the driving pressure under 15 cm H2O helps adults having elective laparoscopic surgery breathe better while under general anesthesia.
-
Dexamethasone to prolong spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery
This trial tests whether a single IV dose of dexamethasone given around an elective C-section helps spinal anesthesia and postoperative pain relief last longer than a placebo.
-
Dexamethasone versus betamethasone before delivery: effects on the baby's heart trace
This compares dexamethasone and betamethasone given before delivery to see if one causes fewer changes on fetal heart tracings in people at high risk of preterm birth.
