NCT ID NCT00577200

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether people can drive safely right after minor surgery with newer, short-acting anesthesia drugs. About 625 adults who have minor procedures (like hand or foot surgery) will take a driving simulator test before leaving the clinic. The goal is to see if certain drug combinations affect driving skills, so doctors can give better advice on when it's safe to get behind the wheel.
