Recovery after IV vs. inhaled anesthesia for non-cardiac surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares recovery after two types of general anesthesia: one given through an IV (propofol) and one inhaled as a gas. It aims to see which approach leads to a smoother recovery for people having non-cardiac surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two types of anesthesia to see which helps patients recover better after gynecologic surgery. You will be randomly assigned to receive either a combination of IV and inhaled anesthesia or inhaled anesthesia alone, and you'll fill out a short questionnaire about your recovery.
This trial compares the anesthesia medicines remimazolam and propofol during major surgery to see how patients do afterward. It may help guide which anesthetic is safer or leads to better recovery in higher-risk patients.
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 looks at whether using different anesthesia drugs during planned lung tumor surgery affects recovery and longer-term outcomes. It also aims to understand why the anesthesia choice might make a difference.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia to children undergoing routine surgery. Researchers want to see if switching from one anesthetic gas to IV (intravenous) medication works safely and effectively.
This trial tests a newer anesthesia drug (remimazolam) combined with alfentanil against a standard drug (propofol) combined with alfentanil for people having chest surgery. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer.
