Sedative tested to shield elderly lungs in cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT07385898
Summary
This study tested whether a sedative drug called dexmedetomidine could help protect the lungs of older adults during laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer. The goal was to see if giving the drug during surgery could improve breathing and reduce lung complications afterward. Researchers enrolled 64 patients aged 60-85 to compare outcomes between those who received the drug and those who did not.
