ANESTHESIA, GENERAL

This study tests whether raising carbon dioxide levels slightly during general anesthesia can improve blood flow to the brain before clot removal in stroke patients. Fifty adults with large-vessel stroke will be randomly assigned to either normal or moderately high carbon dioxide…

This trial compares two standard anesthesia methods—inhaled sevoflurane versus intravenous propofol—during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The goal is to see which one gives surgeons a clearer view inside the shoulder joint, which is important for safety and success. About 110 …

This study compares opioid-free anesthesia to standard opioid-based anesthesia in 600 adults undergoing urological abdominal surgery. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids during surgery reduces the need for painkillers afterward and lowers side effects like nausea. Patients wil…

This study will check if a score called EASIX, calculated from routine blood tests, can predict dangerous low blood pressure after anesthesia in frail patients having non-cardiac surgery. Researchers will monitor 160 frail patients' blood pressure closely after they receive anest…

This study looks at whether sugammadex, a drug used to reverse muscle relaxants after surgery, causes jaw clenching. Researchers will compare different doses of sugammadex to a standard reversal combination in adults undergoing elective surgery. The goal is to understand how ofte…

This study compares two common airway devices (i-gel and Air-Q) used to help children breathe during surgery. Researchers will check how well each device seals the airway and whether air leaks into the stomach, using ultrasound for safe and accurate measurements. The goal is to f…

This study observes 50 adults having surgery to understand why their blood pressure drops. Researchers will use machine learning to find patterns in how different patients respond to treatment. The goal is to create personalized recommendations for managing low blood pressure dur…

This study looks at how two common anesthesia drugs, propofol and alfentanil, change brain activity during a procedure called ERCP (a scope exam of the bile ducts). Researchers will monitor 20 patients' brain waves and pain signals to better understand how these drugs work togeth…

This study looks at whether giving extra oxygen or gentle air pressure to the lung that is not being used during lung surgery can lower the risk of problems after the operation. About 177 adults having lung surgery will be randomly assigned to standard care, extra oxygen alone, o…
