A Study of Changes in Heart Function and Blood Flow in People Receiving Anesthesia
Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Summary
The purpose of this study is to understand changes in heart function (how the heart pumps blood) and blood flow in people who receive general anesthesia during surgery. The researchers are particularly interested in the heart function and blood flow changes in people who experience low blood pressure (hypotension) after receiving anesthesia.
Official title: Changes in Loading Conditions on Induction of General Anesthesia: Mechanisms of Post-Induction Hypotension (PIH)
