Comparing two anesthetics after major non-heart surgery
Treatments studied
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 45 or older
- You have an elective major surgery planned under general anesthesia (expected time over 2 hours and hospital stay over 2 days)
- You have at least one higher-risk feature (heart disease history, stroke history, heart failure, diabetes needing treatment, kidney or liver lab issues, or low blood protein/low hemoglobin, etc.)
- Your surgery is not a transplant and is not heart/brain/burn/interventional surgery
- You can be monitored with a bispectral index (BIS) device during anesthesia
