First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests two types of opioid-free anesthesia in 70 people having weight-loss surgery. One method uses a gas called desflurane, the other uses intravenous drugs. Researchers will measure stress hormones in the blood to see which approach causes less stress on the body. The goal is to improve anesthesia care for obese patients.
What this could mean

What this could lead to
