Trial Outcomes & Findings for Management of Acute Pulmonary Hypertensive Crisis in Children With Known Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (NCT NCT05439460)

NCT ID: NCT05439460

Last Updated: 2022-08-05

Results Overview

In patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) one anticipates a greater increase in pulmonary vascular resistance as opposed to systemic vascular resistance when vasopressors are administered.

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Study phase

PHASE4

Target enrollment

15 participants

Primary outcome timeframe

Day 1 (at baseline and up to 5 minutes following study drug administration) (Q: 2 minutes - 2 to 5 minutes?)

Participant Flow

Participants were assigned sequentially; the first group received phenylephrine, the second group received arginine vasopressin, and the third group received epinephrine.
