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.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a simple timing change to make intubation safer and more comfortable.
