Brief Summary

The optimal vasopressor for ensuring organ blood flow and tissue oxygen delivery during surgery remains undetermined. This study aim to compare the effects of noradrenaline vs. phenylephrine infusion on blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain and various other organs in anesthetized neurosurgical patients.

Conditions

  • Hypotension

Intervention / Treatment

  • Drug: Noradrenalin
  • Drug: Phenylephrine

Primary Outcome Measures

  • Cerebral blood flow (Up to 3 hours (measured on the day of surgery prior to the surgical procedure))
    Blood flow measured in milliliters per minute through selected regions of the brain as determined by Positron Emission Tomography

Countries

Denmark

Locations and Investigators

  • Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark (Recruiting)
    • Mads Rasmussen, MD, PhD
