New study aims to find safer anesthesia dosing for obese patients
NCT ID NCT05305313
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether dosing the anesthetic propofol based on adjusted body weight is better than total body weight for obese patients. Using a computer-controlled system, researchers will monitor brain activity to maintain the right depth of anesthesia. The goal is to avoid overdosing and improve recovery. Forty-six obese adults undergoing surgery will participate.

Active substance
Propofol
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to safer, more precise anesthesia dosing for obese patients, reducing risks like overdose or delayed recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 46 participants, so results may not apply to all obese patients or surgeries. The closed-loop system may also have technical limitations.
