Comparing vasopressors for patients undergoing spine surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial is a prospective, randomized control study that compares the effects of norepinephrine and phenylephrine as vasopressor support in patients undergoing elective spinal fusion surgery. The research aims to address the limited evidence regarding postoperative outcomes related to the choice of vasopressor in this specific surgical context. By evaluating the differential outcomes of these two vasopressors, the study seeks to provide insights into their safety and efficacy during complex spinal surgeries performed under general anesthesia. The trial will include patients over 18 years old who are undergoing surgery in the prone position.
