First seen Apr 14, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at whether esketamine, a drug often used for pain during surgery, can help prevent confusion and memory problems in older patients (65-90 years) after major non-cardiac surgery. About 120 participants will receive one of three different doses of esketamine to find the safest and most effective dose. The goal is to improve recovery without causing unwanted side effects like dissociation.
