Summary
The purpose of this research study is to determine how vasopressors affect a measure of how intravenous fluid is administered in people undergoing surgery who have low blood pressure called Pulse Pressure Variability (PPV). This study will recruit human subjects to undergo simulated hypovolemia called Lower Body Negative Pressure (LBNP) and will receive phenylephrine and placebo, while PPV will be measured in both conditions. This research will help anesthesiologists learn more about how to use PPV in patients undergoing surgery and who need vasopressors.
