Medellín, AntioquiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06270797Recruiting
Pre-anesthesia imaging to assess your breathing passages
This study tests a new way to check your breathing passages using images taken before anesthesia. It aims to help doctors plan safer airways for surgery.
Kaohsiung City, Sanmin DistAges 18–85 - NCT07211828Recruiting
Brain activity and pain signals during anesthesia study
This study looks at how opioids and sedatives affect brain activity and pain signals in patients getting anesthesia for an ERCP procedure.
MiaoliAges 18 years+ - NCT07334418Recruiting
General anesthesia for trauma prevention during C-section
This study tests if giving general anesthesia early during a C-section can reduce traumatic experiences for women who feel severe pain despite standard pain relief options.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07001267Recruiting
Comparing two anesthetics for stroke procedure recovery
This trial tests whether a sedative given through an IV or a gas you breathe affects recovery after surgery to remove a blood clot in the brain. It may help find the best way to keep you comfortable during the procedure to improve how well you do after three months.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05911139Enrolling by invitation
Study how anesthesia affects brain injury markers in craniosynostosis surgery
This study looks at how general anesthesia may affect “brain injury marker” levels during and after surgery for single-suture craniosynostosis in infants. It may help doctors better understand anesthesia timing and safety for babies having corrective surgery.
BratislavaAges Up to 18 years - NCT05550714Recruiting
Choosing anesthesia type during deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s
This study compares different anesthesia choices during deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson’s disease, using a technique that guides electrode placement. It may help your care team choose the safest and most comfortable anesthesia approach for surgery.
BeijingAges 50–80 - NCT06101511Recruiting
Breathing tube pressure for safer abdominal surgery
This trial is testing if using less air pressure from the breathing machine during abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications. If you are at higher risk for breathing problems after surgery, this study may help find a safer way to manage your breathing during the operation.
Amsterdam, NoordhollandAges 18–100 - NCT06454305Recruiting
Breathing exercises after abdominal surgery
This study tests two breathing techniques (ACBT and blow bottle) to help people recover lung function after abdominal surgery under general anesthesia. If you have trouble coughing up mucus or need extra oxygen after surgery, you may benefit.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 30–50 - NCT06925282Recruiting
Breathing help during airway surgery
This study looks at what factors make some patients need extra breathing support during airway surgery when using a special oxygen delivery method called THRIVE. The goal is to better understand who might need additional help to keep their oxygen levels safe.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT06846983Recruiting
Testing a new way to predict numbing success for children's surgery
This trial checks if a simple monitor reading (peripheral perfusion index) can help doctors know if a numbing shot (caudal block) will work well for children having belly or pelvic surgery. It may lead to better pain control during and after surgery.
Cairo, AbbasiaAges 1–5 - NCT06782841Recruiting
Comparing three laryngeal masks for side-lying surgeries under general anesthesia
This trial tests three different breathing tube devices (laryngeal masks) used during general anesthesia when patients are lying on their side. The goal is to see which one works best for surgeries lasting less than three hours.
