The Effect of Water Carbonation on Orthostatic Tolerance
The primary purpose of this investigation is to determine whether water carbonation can improve orthostatic tolerance in healthy control volunteers. Orthostatic tolerance refers to the ability to maintain an adequate blood pressure when standing. In some individuals blood pressure can fall when standing, predisposing to dizzy spells or fainting episodes. …
Using Vasopressor Medication to Support Blood Pressure During Intubation Procedure
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether protocolized vasopressor use for patients with normal blood pressure undergoing rapid sequence intubation improves hemodynamic parameters and mitigates adverse events. The hypothesis is that use of vasopressors during Rapid Sequence Intubation will prevent substantial decreases in blood pressure when compared to …
Blood Pressure Effects on Cognition and Brain Blood Flow in PD
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. Besides causing symptoms that impair movement, PD also causes non-motor symptoms, such as problems thinking and orthostatic hypotension (OH), i.e., low blood pressure (BP) when standing. About one-third of people with PD have OH, which can cause sudden, temporary …
Deciphering Preserved Autonomic Function After Spinal Cord Injury
This study looks to characterize gradients of dysfunction in the autonomic nervous system after spinal cord injury. The autonomic nervous system plays key roles in regulation of blood pressure, skin blood flow, and bladder health- all issues that individuals with spinal cord injury typically suffer. Focusing on blood pressure regulation, …
Effects of Midodrine and Droxidopa on Splanchnic Capacitance in Autonomic Failure
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of midodrine and droxidopa, two medications used for the treatment of orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure on standing), on the veins of the abdomen of patients with autonomic failure. The study will be conducted at Vanderbilt University Medical …
Comparisons of Blood Pressure Control Ability Between HPI, ClearSight, and Conventional NIBP During Neuraxial Anesthesia in Cesarean Section
The goal of this study is to compare the blood pressure control ability with HPI, ClearSight, and conventional NIBP during neuraxial anesthesia in cesarean section. The main question it aims to answer is: Anesthesiologists can have a better control of blood pressure during cesarean section with HPI than with conventional …
CO2 Rebreathing in nOH: A Proof-of-Concept Pilot Study
Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) is a chronic condition associated with increased cardiovascular risk and reduced quality of life. On standing, patients with nOH experience a large reduction in blood pressure (BP; at least ≥20/10mmHg, but often much more), which is often accompanied by debilitating symptoms and syncope. A previous study …
Effect of Midodrine vs Abdominal Compression on Cardiovascular Risk Markers in Autonomic Failure Patients
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of abdominal compression and the medication midodrine, two interventions used for the treatment of orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure on standing), on hemodynamic markers of cardiovascular risk. The study will be conducted at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center …
CPAP for the Treatment of Supine Hypertension
This study aims to learn about the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on people with autonomic failure and high blood pressure when lying down (supine hypertension) to determine if it can be used to treat their high blood pressure during the night. CPAP (a widely used treatment for …
Evaluation of Non-Invasive Continuous vs Intermittent BloodPressure Monitors in Maintenance Dialysis (BP Dialysis)
Prospective, single center, open label, non-randomized, post-market study of the Tablo Hemodialysis System and VitalStream Monitor in participants with End-Stage KidneyDisease undergoing In-Center Hemodialysis.
