Age matters: study measures exact ciprofol dose for loss of consciousness
NCT ID NCT07148596
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at 125 patients of different ages to find out how much ciprofol (an anesthetic drug) they needed to lose consciousness. Researchers measured the dose and brain activity (bispectral index) during anesthesia induction. The goal is to help doctors tailor ciprofol doses more precisely for safer anesthesia.
