GENERAL ANESTHESIA

This study looks at how noise in the operating room might affect the depth of anesthesia and vital signs like heart rate and blood pressure in 70 adults having elective surgery. Researchers will measure noise levels and compare them to anesthesia depth and vital signs. The goal i…

This study looks at two different levels of pressure (5 vs 8 cmH₂O) from a breathing machine during back surgery when patients lie face down. The goal is to see which setting helps lungs work better and keeps oxygen levels stable. About 60 adults having elective lumbar spine surg…

This study watches 60 adults having planned abdominal surgery to see if eyelid reflexes, eye movements, and pupil size changes can show how deep their anesthesia is. Doctors will check these signs at three points during surgery and compare them to standard brain monitoring. The g…

This study looks at 958 adults with severe stroke who need a procedure to remove a blood clot from their brain. Researchers want to find out if being fully asleep (general anesthesia) or lightly sedated (procedural sedation) leads to better recovery and less disability three mont…

This study aims to find the best dose of alfentanil (a painkiller) when used with propofol (a sleep medicine) to place a breathing tube (LMA) in children aged 7-12 having day surgery. About 40 children will take part, and the goal is to make the procedure smooth and safe. The res…

This study will compare two common anesthetic gases, sevoflurane and desflurane, to see how they affect a pain monitor called ANI in 80 adults having surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two gases, and their pain responses will be measured. The go…

This study will compare two methods of placing a breathing tube in children having surgery: using a video camera (videolaryngoscopy) versus a standard direct view. Over 5,500 children aged 0-16 will take part to see which method leads to successful tube placement on the first att…

This study will observe 34 adults undergoing long surgeries (over 2 hours) who are at higher risk for lung complications, such as obese patients or those in certain positions. Researchers will use advanced monitors to measure lung pressures and air distribution during routine bre…
