The influence of norepinephrine and phenylephrine on cerebral perfusion and oxygenation during propofol–remifentanil and propofol–remifentanil–dexmedetomidine anaesthesia in piglets

Abstract Background Vasopressors are frequently used to increase blood pressure in order to ensure sufficient cerebral perfusion and oxygenation (CPO) during hypotensive periods in anaesthetized patients. Efficacy depends both on the vasopressor and anaesthetic protocol used. Propofol–remifentanil t...
