mepivacaine and Hypotension

mepivacaine has been researched along with Hypotension in 24 studies

Mepivacaine: A local anesthetic that is chemically related to BUPIVACAINE but pharmacologically related to LIDOCAINE. It is indicated for infiltration, nerve block, and epidural anesthesia. Mepivacaine is effective topically only in large doses and therefore should not be used by this route. (From AMA Drug Evaluations, 1994, p168)
mepivacaine : A piperidinecarboxamide in which N-methylpipecolic acid and 2,6-dimethylaniline have combined to form the amide bond. It is used as a local amide-type anaesthetic.

Hypotension: Abnormally low BLOOD PRESSURE that can result in inadequate blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. Common symptom is DIZZINESS but greater negative impacts on the body occur when there is prolonged depravation of oxygen and nutrients.

Trial Outcomes

Change IN Plasma Volume PV

"An indicator dilution technique was used to measure the blood volume, plasma volume and red cell blood volume. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1998, the BVA-100 blood volume analyzer (Daxor Corp.) is a semi-automated system for blood volume analysis. Prepared standards and injectates were used. The injectate consists of 31I-labeled HSA (370- 1,295 kBq [10-30 mCi]) in saline.~Measurement was performed directly before surgery in the holding area and 6 hours after surgery.~Each time, before injection of the tracer a baseline sample was taken. After injection of the tracer via standard i.v. line, the first sample was drawn from an arterial line after 12 minutes waiting time. Afterwards every 6 minutes a sample was taken. In a whole 5 samples were sent for analysis to Daxor® Corp.. Each sample is counted in duplicate." (NCT02148809)

Change in Total Blood Volume

The primary outcome is the change in total blood volume (TBV) during the first 6 hours after primary THA utilizing hypotensive anesthesia. Preoperative TBV will be compared to values 6 hours postoperatively. (NCT02148809)
