Monitoring pain and sleep medicines to prevent complications after surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether closely monitoring opioid and sleep medicines during and after surgery can lower organ problems and death in older adults at high risk. If you qualify, your team will track how these medicines are given to help keep you safer in the postoperative period.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Live in France and have French Social Security coverage
- Be willing to sign informed consent (and be able to understand the study)
- Plan to stay in the hospital more than 48 hours after surgery
- Be over 75 years old and have at least one high-risk condition after surgery (for example heart disease/heart failure history, stroke, serious rhythm problems, lung disease, kidney problems, diabetes on insulin, active cancer, heavy alcohol use, or dementia)
- Have a high-risk surgery planned with general anesthesia that uses opioid plus sleep medicines and includes breathing tube or supraglottic airway device

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether avoiding strong painkillers (opioids) during anesthesia can help older adults sleep better, think clearer, and recover more smoothly after surgery. It compares opioid-free anesthesia to standard care.
This study looks at how sleep problems before surgery affect the amount of anesthesia needed and how well you recover after non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to help doctors personalize care for better recovery.
This study looks at how your sleep before and after surgery might affect long-term pain. You will wear a small watch-like device that tracks your sleep, and answer some questions about pain and sleep over time.
This study tests whether a combination of two medicines, dexmedetomidine and esketamine, can help improve sleep problems after major non-heart surgery. You may be eligible if you are having planned surgery lasting at least one hour and will use a pain pump after surgery.
This study tests whether avoiding opioids during surgery helps older adults recover better after major non-cardiac surgery. If you are 65 or older and having planned major surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a combination of two medicines (dexmedetomidine and esketamine) given in small doses to help with pain after surgery. It is for people who have sleep apnea or are at risk for it, and who are having chest or belly surgery with a scope.
