Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The primary hypothesis is that in patients with chronic renal insufficiency, bolus injection of norepinephrine will be more effective then ephedrine injections to correct hypotension after anesthesia induction.
60 patients with a glomerular filtration rate less than 45 mL/min/m2 (KDIGO classification less than grade 3b) will be included in this prospective double blind trial. All patients will be anesthetized by target-controlled infusion of propofol adjusted to a patient state index (Measured by Sedline, Masimo) of 25-50. Sufentanil injection will be based on noxious stimuli according to the attending anesthesiologist's judgement.
Non-invasive blood pressure will be measured at the pre-anesthesia clinic, before induction and every minute up to 20 minutes post anesthesia induction. Episodes of hypotension, defined as a mean arterial blood pressure less than 65 mm Hg, will be treated either by a bolus injection of 6 mg ephedrine or a bolus injection of 6 mcg norepinephrine, which are equipotent doses. Seringues containing either ephedrine 3 mg/mL or norepinephrine 3 mcg/mL will be prepared by an anesthesia nurse not involved in the care of the patient and labeled as "VASO-IRC-inclusion number". Randomization will be done by a computer generated list in a block randomization of 5.
Primary outcome is the number of boluses needed to maintain arterial blood pressure above a mean of 65 mm Hg.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Ephedrine group
In this group, any hypotension less than 65 mm Hg will be corrected by bolus injection of 6 mg ephedrine. Bolus injection will be repeated every 3 minutes, as needed, to keep mean arterial pressure above 65 mm Hg.
Ephedrine
Bolus injection of 6 mg ephedrine to keep mean arterial blood pressure above 65 mm Hg
Norepinephrine group
In this group, any hypotension less than 65 mm Hg will be corrected by bolus injection of 6 mcg norepinephrine. Bolus injection will be repeated every 3 minutes, as needed, to keep mean arterial pressure above 65 mm Hg.
Norepinephrine
Bolus injection of either 6 mcg norepinephrine to keep mean arterial blood pressure above 65 mm Hg
