| Blood Pressure Dexmedetomidine High-risk Patients Abdominal Surgery Postoperative Complications | Drug: Dexmedetomidine Drug: Placebo Other: Goal-directed blood pressure management Other: Routine blood pressure management | Phase 4 |
The number of patients undergoing surgeries is increasing worldwide. However, some patients develop complications or even die after surgery. Perioperative organ injury is the leading cause of the unfavorable outcomes.
Hypotension is not uncommon during major surgery and is highly responsible for the inadequate perfusion and organ injury. A recent study showed that individualized blood pressure management decreases the incidence of postoperative organ injury when compared with standard blood pressure management strategy.
Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective alpha2 adrenergic agonist. Previous studies showed that dexmedetomidine provides organ protection in various conditions. In a recent meta-analysis, perioperative dexmedetomidine reduceds the occurrence of postoperative delirium. However, whether it can reduce postoperative complications remains inconclusive.
This study aims to investigate the impact of intraoperative goal-directed blood pressure management and dexmedetomidine infusion on the incidence of postoperative organ injury in high-risk patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo+routine blood pressure management
Placebo (normal saline) is administered during anesthesia. Blood pressure is managed according to routine practice.
|
Drug: Placebo
Loading dose placebo administered before anesthesia induction, followed by a continuous infusion until 1 hour before the end of surgery.
Other Name: Normal saline Other: Routine blood pressure management Blood pressure is maintained according to routine practice, i.e., systolic blood pressure > 90 mmHg or within ±30% of baseline within intermittent ephedrine or phenylephrine. |
