Trial Assessing the Effect of Preoperative Furosemide on Intraoperative Blood Pressure

NCT00115726

RandomizedParallel-groupQuadruple-blindPrevention

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether continuing or discontinuing furosemide (a diuretic) on the day of elective noncardiac surgery for those who take furosemide on a chronic basis, causes more intraoperative hypotension (low blood pressure) during surgery. Our hypothesis is that the usual practice of continuing furosemide on the day of surgery would contribute to more hypotension during surgery than discontinuing furosemide.
