Summary

This study tests whether giving a low dose of esketamine or raising both legs before anesthesia can prevent blood pressure drops in elderly patients undergoing chest surgery. About 292 people aged 60-80 will take part. The goal is to find a simple way to keep blood pressure stable and reduce risks like heart or kidney problems.
