Can a smart monitor reduce opioid use during hip surgery?
NCT ID NCT07747142
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two ways of managing pain during total hip replacement surgery: one uses a device called CARDEAN® to guide the amount of opioid painkiller given, and the other avoids opioids entirely. The goal is to see if the CARDEAN-guided method is just as good at controlling pain after surgery as the opioid-free method. The trial involves 140 adults scheduled for hip replacement under general anesthesia, and it will measure how much morphine they need in the first 24 hours after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CARDEAN®-guided titrated opioid-sparing anesthesia (using sufentanil) compared to opioid-free anesthesia
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a way to manage pain during hip replacement surgery with fewer opioids, potentially leading to faster recovery and earlier discharge from the hospital.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial with a modest number of participants, and the results may not apply to all patients or hospitals. There is also a risk that the CARDEAN-guided method might not be as effective as opioid-free anesthesia in controlling pain after surgery.
