Patient reported outcomes measures (PROMS) are important endpoints to measure patient health status in the perioperative setting. However, there are no good tools to measure PROMS in the pediatric surgical population. Patients 7 to 17 years old undergoing surgery were included and followed up for 1 day after surgery (POD1).

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is a protective mechanism maintaining blood oxygenation by redirecting blood flow from poorly ventilated to well-ventilated areas in the lung. Such a beneficial effect is blunted by antihypertensive treatment with dihydropyridine calcium channel inhibitors. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of urapidil, an antihypertensive agent acting as an α adrenergic antagonist and a partial 5-HT agonist, on HPV in porcine proximal and distal pulmonary artery rings, and to characterize underlying mechanisms.

Urapidil (Eupressyl(®)) an antihypertensive drug acting as an α1 antagonist and a 5-HT1A agonist, may be of special interest in the treatment of hypertension associated with preeclamptic toxaemia and hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial vasoconstriction. However, the effect of urapidil on vascular tone has been poorly investigated. Vascular reactivity was evaluated using pulmonary and coronary arteries from 36 pigs, aortae from 22 rats and 9 human pulmonary artery samples suspended in organ chambers.
