NCT ID NCT07152912
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study compares two widely used inhaled anesthetics, isoflurane and sevoflurane, to see which one causes less oxidative stress (a type of cell damage) in patients having gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers will measure stress markers in the blood of 80 healthy adults. The goal is to understand if one anesthetic is safer for routine surgeries.
