Anesthesia showdown: could propofol beat sevoflurane for shoulder surgery?
NCT ID NCT07628244
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
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 adults having elective shoulder surgery will take part, and their surgical videos will be blindly scored for visibility.
What this could mean

Active substance
sevoflurane and propofol
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that one anesthesia method is better for shoulder surgery, leading to clearer views and safer procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 110 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The difference between the two methods might be small or not clinically meaningful.
