Dexmedetomidine and eye pressure during spine surgeries
Treatments studied
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a specific anesthesia-related medicine (dexmedetomidine) affects eye pressure during planned spine operations done with the patient lying face-down under general anesthesia. It may help doctors choose safer anesthesia to reduce risks related to eye pressure changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two medications given during brain surgery to help control pressure around the optic nerve. The goal is to see which medication is better at protecting the eyes during the procedure.
This study tests if dexmedetomidine can help prevent dangerous blood pressure spikes during breathing tube placement for surgery in patients with high blood pressure. It is for older adults (over 60) who have been managing their hypertension for at least 6 months.
This trial tests if adding a second medicine, ketamine, to dexmedetomidine helps control blood pressure better during ear or nose surgery. It may lead to safer and smoother anesthesia for patients needing controlled low blood pressure.
This trial tests adding dexmedetomidine (a calming medication) to bupivacaine (numbing medication) injected into the spine during knee surgery. The goal is to improve pain relief and recovery after surgery.
This study tests two medicines given before surgery to see which one better controls blood pressure and heart rate during the start of anesthesia. It may help people with high blood pressure have a safer and smoother experience when they are put to sleep for surgery.
This study tests whether a medication called dexmedetomidine can reduce the amount of anesthesia needed during tear duct surgery (DCR), possibly making the procedure safer and more comfortable.
