NCT06513169 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 200

Last updated 2026-02-24

No results posted yet for this study

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

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)
