Comparing anesthetics and their effect on confusion after surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares three different anesthesia medicines to see which one might lower the chance of confusion or delirium after major surgery. If you are 65 or older and having a long, planned non-heart surgery, this trial could help determine the safest option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older
- You are scheduled for a planned major surgery (not an emergency) that is expected to last at least 2 hours
- The surgery is not on your heart
- You do not have a history of dementia or memory problems
- You do not have a history of malignant hyperthermia (a rare reaction to anesthesia)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how often older adults develop sudden confusion (delirium) after non-heart operations under general anesthesia. It may help doctors better predict who is at risk and improve care after surgery.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (propofol and sevoflurane) to see which one helps prevent confusion and delirium after surgery. Delirium is a temporary state of confusion that can happen after surgery, and researchers want to understand which anesthesia approach might reduce this risk.
This study looks at older patients (65 and older) who have had surgery and anesthesia. It aims to find who is at risk for confusion (delirium) and memory problems afterward. The goal is to help doctors prevent these issues.
This study looks at whether a protein called GDNF in the blood can help predict if a child will become confused or have other brain problems after surgery. It aims to improve how we care for children during and after their operation.
This study compares two types of general anesthesia for older adults (70+) having planned non-heart, non-brain surgery that lasts at least 2 hours. The goal is to see which type might be better for preserving thinking and memory after surgery.
This study tests whether three different anesthesia medicines (ciprofol, propofol, and sevoflurane) might reduce confusion or disorientation after brain tumor surgery in older adults. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of these anesthetics, and their recovery will be monitored.
