First seen Apr 28, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests whether a sedative called dexmedetomidine causes fewer breathing problems than the standard combination of propofol and remifentanil during a minimally invasive heart valve replacement (TAVI). Researchers will monitor 80 elderly patients for oxygen drops, slow breathing, and airway issues. The goal is to find a safer sedation method for this fragile population.
