Flumazenil to aid waking up after anesthesia for hip surgery
Treatments studied
This study looks at whether a medicine called flumazenil can help people wake up more safely and recover better after being put to sleep for hip surgery using a specific anesthesia medication. It may help doctors understand the best way to reverse anesthesia effects in older adults.

This study looks at whether a medicine that reverses sedation can help your thinking and memory recover faster after hip replacement surgery. You'll receive spinal anesthesia, and you'll get either the study drug or a placebo to see how it affects your brain function after the operation.
This study tests a patient-controlled sedation approach using a medication called remimazolam during hip surgery under spinal anesthesia. It aims to see if letting patients control their own relaxation is safe and effective.
This trial tests if giving either oral melatonin or lidocaine during surgery can reduce the chance of confusion (delirium) in older adults after total hip replacement. It compares these two approaches to standard care.
This study is testing whether the anesthesia drug remimazolam can help protect your kidneys after liver or pancreas surgery. It's comparing it to a standard anesthesia drug to see if it reduces the chances of kidney injury after the operation.
This trial tests whether using remimazolam or propofol during hip or knee replacement surgery can lower the risk of postoperative delirium, a sudden, short-term confusion that can happen after anesthesia. It may help people who are at higher risk of postoperative confusion by finding the safer anesthesia approach.
This trial compares two sedatives, remimazolam and midazolam, to see which one leads to better recovery of thinking skills after orthopedic surgery. It is for people aged 65 and older who are having surgery on a bone or joint while awake but relaxed.
