Lower Extremity Elevation to Minimize Hemodynamic Instability During Induction of General Anesthesia

United States200 participantsStarted 2024-08-12

Plain-language 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
