Summary
This trial is testing if giving Propofol more slowly can reduce side effects like sudden blood pressure changes. The study focuses on patients who need Propofol for medical procedures. By administering it slowly, researchers hope to see fewer blood pressure issues and less need for extra medications.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients aged 18-80 undergoing non-cardiac elective surgery lasting over an hour, who speak English fluently. They must be planned to receive Propofol as the main anesthesia for induction by their anesthesiologist.
What is being tested?
The study aims to see if giving Propofol slowly leads to fewer blood pressure drops compared to the standard speed of administration. It will also look at whether less medication is needed to correct blood pressure when it's given slowly.
What are the potential side effects?
Propofol may cause low blood pressure, which this study specifically investigates. The side effects might include a temporary drop in blood pressure during and immediately after its administration.

Treatment Details
Study Objectives
Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary study objectives
Patients administered Propofol at a slower rate of infusion will have lower incidence of post induction hypotension than patients administered Propofol at FDA approved rate.
Secondary study objectives
Patients administered Propofol at a slower rate will have less complications during the early post-op period than patients administered Propofol at FDA approved rate.
Awards & Highlights
No Placebo-Only Group
All patients enrolled in this study will receive some form of active treatment.
Pivotal Trial
The final step before approval, pivotal trials feature drugs that have already shown basic safety & efficacy.
