NCT05414877

Brief Summary

This study was a single-center, exploratory, randomized controlled trial. First, the effects of ephedrine, phenylephrine, or norepinephrine on cerebral blood flow hemodynamics in CEA patients were evaluated using DSC-MRI to investigate the specific mechanisms of the three vasopressors on cerebral blood flow and oxygen metabolism in brain tissues.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Regional Cerebral Blood Flow

    This outcome is measured by Dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced perfusion-weighted imaging.

    10 minutes after entering the operating room; 10 minutes after intubation ;5 minutes after administration of vasopressors

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Regional oxygen saturation index

    10 minutes after entering the operating room; 10 minutes after intubation ;5 minutes after administration of vasopressors

Study Arms (3)

Ephedrine

EXPERIMENTAL

receive ephedrine (configured concentration 2 mg/mL). The individualized blood pressure control target was a 20% increase in baseline blood pressure, and the target blood pressure value was used as the basis for adjusting the dosing or pumping rate.

Drug: Ephedrine

Phenylephrine

EXPERIMENTAL

receive intravenous infusion of phenylephrine (configured concentration 0.1 mg/mL) The individualized blood pressure control target was a 20% increase in baseline blood pressure, and the target blood pressure value was used as the basis for adjusting the dosing or pumping rate.

Drug: Phenylephrine

norepinephrine

EXPERIMENTAL

intravenous infusion of norepinephrine (configured concentration of 6 μg/ml).The individualized blood pressure control target was a 20% increase in baseline blood pressure, and the target blood pressure value was used as the basis for adjusting the dosing or pumping rate.

Drug: Norepinephrine

Masking Details
This study could not be blinded to the treating anesthesiologists. However, blinding was maintained for the patients and the assessors of outcome indicators. Postoperative follow-up was performed by a specially trained physician who did not have access to any information about the patients' cases and subgroups.
