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
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- 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.
