Overview

The purpose of this study is to determine if lower extremity elevation (LEE) will reduce the incidence of postinduction hypotension, to compare the utilization of vasoactive medications after induction in patients with LEE and patients without LEE and to determine if LEE will increase measured cardiac output

  • Allergic reaction to drugs commonly used for general anesthesia including fentanyl, midazolam, propofol, ephedrine and phenylephrine
  • Pregnant women
  • Requiring rapid sequence induction
  • Prisoners
  • Patient refusal
  • Emergency Surgery

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
