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

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 tests a monitoring device that helps doctors give the right amount of pain medication during surgery, aiming to reduce side effects after the operation. It is for people having major surgery lasting over 2 hours under general anesthesia.
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 compares different ways of monitoring how deeply sedated patients are while on a breathing machine after heart surgery. It aims to find the best approach to keep you comfortable and safe in the intensive care unit.
This study tests a way to manage pain and agitation after brain surgery without using sedatives (sleep-inducing drugs). It aims to help patients stay more awake and alert while recovering in the intensive care unit.
