Testing a new propofol dosing method for higher BMI surgeries
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies whether adjusting how propofol (an anesthesia medicine) is dosed based on total body weight improves anesthesia delivery during longer surgeries. It mainly targets people with a higher body mass index having surgery that lasts over an hour.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are classified as ASA II or ASA III (mild to moderate health problems)

- Your body mass index (BMI) is over 35 kg/m²
- You do not have serious or uncontrolled heart rhythm/blood flow problems or certain heart conditions
- You do not have major nervous system conditions, uncontrolled diabetes, or liver/kidney failure

This trial studies a “closed-loop” anesthesia delivery system that automatically adjusts anesthesia during surgery. It may help by making anesthesia more consistent and safer while you’re undergoing planned non-heart surgery.
This trial tests a new way of giving the anesthetic propofol to keep your blood pressure more stable during surgery. It may help reduce side effects like dizziness or fainting after the procedure.
This trial compares two different anesthesia techniques for obese patients having laparoscopic surgery, to see which one works better and is safer.
This trial compares the anesthesia medicines remimazolam and propofol during major surgery to see how patients do afterward. It may help guide which anesthetic is safer or leads to better recovery in higher-risk patients.
This study tests how well a computer model predicts the dose of a new anesthetic called cipepofol during planned surgeries that last at least an hour. The goal is to see if the model gives the right amount of drug for safe and effective anesthesia.
This study compares two common anesthesia medicines—sevoflurane (inhaled gas) and propofol (IV liquid)—to see which works better for people with obesity having lower-back spine surgery. The goal is to understand which anesthetic is safer and more effective for this group.
