Lower Extremity Elevation to Minimize Hemodynamic Instability During Induction of General Anesthesia

Lower Extremity Elevation to Minimize Hemodynamic Instability During Induction of General Anesthesia - a Prospective Randomized Controlled Study

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 200 (actual)
• Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 70 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

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

Conditions

• Post Induction Hypotension

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Group 1: LEE	Patients will be in supine position during induction with a 12" wedge placed at the level of the Achilles tendon (LEE)
