#TAVI is often performed under local anaesthetic with conscious sedation #LA-CS. Data from #SOLVE-TAVI suggest LA-CS patients reach #BIS depths typical of general anaesthesia – raising questions about over-sedation

In 473 high-risk patients, starting a continuous norepinephrine infusion at induction - instead of ephedrine boluses - was associated with:
- Much less hypotension: 15% vs. 74%
- Lower 30-day complications: 44% vs. 58%
- Fewer pulmonary complications
