Using Vasopressor Medication to Support Blood Pressure During Intubation Procedure

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-08-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

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 normal intravenous fluids.

• Phase: Phase 3
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
