This study tests different ways of giving propofol (a medicine to make you sleep during surgery) to see which method works best. If you are having planned surgery with a breathing tube, this trial might help improve how anesthesia is given.
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 tests a fixed-ratio combination of two common anesthetics (propofol and remifentanil) given through a target-controlled infusion during surgery. It aims to find the best way to keep patients aged 65 or older asleep and pain-free during noncardiac surgeries lasting at least an hour.
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.
This study tests if a medicine called propofol (given through an IV) can help improve depression symptoms by boosting slow brain waves during sleep. It is for people 60 and older whose depression has not fully responded to standard antidepressants.
This study looks at how children recover from anesthesia with a medicine called propofol. It compares recovery in younger kids (ages 3-5) and older kids (ages 6-12) to see if age affects how quickly they wake up and feel normal again.
