Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old scheduled for carotid endoarterectomy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with a body mass index over 35, those with atrial fibrillation, requiring urgent surgery, or who are pregnant may not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

This study involves patients scheduled for carotid endoarterectomy who will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will utilize a predictive hemodynamic approach to avoid arterial hypotension, while the other will receive standard treatment for hypotension. The goal is to assess the effectiveness of the predictive approach in managing blood flow during surgery. This could lead to improved outcomes for patients undergoing this procedure.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance patient safety and surgical outcomes during carotid artery surgeries.

How similar studies have gone: While similar approaches to hemodynamic monitoring have been explored, this specific predictive method in carotid surgery is relatively novel.
