Timing of a common sedative may ease stress of intubation
NCT ID NCT07165483
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving dexmedetomidine 20 minutes before anesthesia, instead of 10 minutes, better controls stress responses like high blood pressure and heart rate during breathing tube insertion. 45 adults undergoing surgery will be randomly assigned to one of three timing groups. Researchers will monitor vital signs and any need for extra pain medication during surgery.

Active substance
Dexmedetomidine
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple timing change to make intubation safer and more comfortable.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial (45 people) looking only at short-term vital signs, not long-term outcomes. Results may not apply to people with health conditions.
