Comparison of the Effects of Phenylephrine and Norepinephrine on Hemodynamics and Tissue Oxygenation in Patients Undergoing Ophthalmic Surgery

Name
PheNor-001
Description
In ophthalmic surgery the specific anaesthesiological challenges necessitate the administration of a combination of relatively high doses of hypnotics and analgetics. In order to preserve adequate organ perfusion, there is often a need to administer pharmacological agents for haemodynamic support. Depending on the experience of the anaesthetist a continuous infusion of phenylephrine or norepinephrine is used. It is currently not known which of these agents has the most favorable haemodynamical profile. Haemodynamic parameters (continuous blood pressure, cardiac index, stroke volume and systemic resistance), peripheral tissue oxygenation and cerebral tissue oxygenation will be monitored noninvasively using the Nexfin® , Inspectra®, and Foresight® and O2C® monitoring devices.

Treatment
phenylephrine
If the mean arterial pressure drops below 20% of the baseline value and/or below 90 mmHg, a syringe pump with phenylephrine or norepinephrine (depending on randomisation) will be started. The anaesthetist will be blinded for the type of vasopressor. Concentrations phenylephrine (20 µg /ml) of Norepinephrine (10 µg/ml) will be used in the syringes
