Study reveals how extra weight changes anesthesia effects
NCT ID NCT07530848
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study watches how body fat and muscle affect the way anesthetic drugs work in overweight and obese patients. Researchers will measure body composition and drug levels in 2,100 adults during surgery. The goal is to understand why heavier patients may have more complications, not to test a new treatment.
