- Have previously participated in the trial
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- Have a documented history of dementia
- Have language, vision, or hearing impairments that may compromise cognitive assessments
- Have a condition that precludes routine blood pressure management such as surgeon request for relative hypotension
- Receiving irreversible nonselective monoamine oxidase inhibitors (e.g. tranylcypromine, phenelzine) within 2 weeks preceding study enrolment
- Have contraindications to noradrenaline per clinician judgement
- Noradrenaline infusion started before surgery or plan to use continuous noradrenaline infusion throughout the procedure
- Treating physician (surgeon/anaesthetist) decides on the necessity of extended continuous hemodynamic monitoring during or after surgery

Endpoints
Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)
Primary endpoints 1
- The primary outcome is perioperative hypotension, defined as any mean arterial pressure (MAP) reading ≤55 mmHg during and up to 4 hours after noncardiac surgery.
Secondary endpoints 1
- Secondary outcomes include time under MAP ≤60 mm Hg intraoperatively and postoperatively; a composite of major perfusion-related complications: myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS), acute kidney injury (AKI), stroke, non-fatal cardiac arrest, sepsis, and death of all causes; infusion-related reactions; days alive and at home up to 30 days after surgery.
