Eco-Friendly anesthesia: could dexmedetomidine replace harmful gases?
NCT ID NCT07363681
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether dexmedetomidine, a drug already used in ICUs, can replace traditional inhaled anesthetics for urological surgeries. The goal is to keep patients stable during surgery and help them recover faster, while also reducing environmental pollution from anesthetic gases. About 150 adults aged 39 and older undergoing specific urological procedures will participate.
