NCT ID NCT07603596
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using a drug combination without opioids during anesthesia can lower the chance of confusion (delirium) after surgery in people 65 and older having gastrointestinal surgery. About 174 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either opioid-free or standard opioid anesthesia. The main goal is to see how many develop delirium within a week after surgery.
