Which anesthesia helps you wake up smoother after spine surgery?
NCT ID NCT07123870
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests three common anesthesia methods in adults having long spine surgery (over three hours) to see which one leads to the quickest and most comfortable recovery. The methods are total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) alone, TIVA combined with sevoflurane, and TIVA combined with desflurane. Researchers will measure how fast patients wake up, how soon they can breathe on their own, and how quickly they leave the recovery room, as well as any nausea or agitation after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Three anesthesia approaches: total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), TIVA plus sevoflurane, and TIVA plus desflurane.
- What this could lead to
- If one method proves better, it could guide anesthesia choices to help patients wake faster and recover more comfortably after long surgeries.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial, and results may not apply to all hospitals or surgeries. Individual patient factors can also affect recovery, so no single method may emerge as clearly superior.
