Angioplasty patients: could your sedative be drying your eyes?
NCT ID NCT07326332
First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study looks at whether dexmedetomidine, a sedative used during angioplasty, changes tear production compared to standard sedatives. 52 adults having angioplasty under local anesthesia will be randomly assigned to receive either dexmedetomidine or standard sedation. Tear production will be measured before, right after, and 12 hours after the procedure, and patients will report any eye dryness or discomfort. The goal is to help doctors choose sedatives that keep eyes comfortable and safe.
