Sevoflurane Anesthesia and Memory After Gallbladder Surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study is testing how a common type of anesthesia (sevoflurane) affects memory after gallbladder surgery. If you are having this surgery and are between 30 and 50, you may be able to help doctors learn more about memory and anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery.
- You are between 30 and 50 years old.
- You do not have any uncorrected vision or hearing problems.
- You are not taking medications that affect the brain (like anxiety meds, antidepressants, or seizure drugs).
- You do not have a psychiatric or neurological condition or a history of substance abuse.

This study compares two different ways of giving anesthesia gas (sevoflurane) during gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers will measure how each method affects your heart's electrical activity to see if one is safer than the other.
This study looks at how a common anesthesia gas (sevoflurane) affects the brain's ability to handle challenges during surgery. It is for people having planned same-day surgery who are generally healthy and have no known memory or thinking problems.
This study compares two common types of anesthesia (sevoflurane and desflurane) during gallbladder removal surgery. It looks at how these drugs affect your body's metabolism, which may help doctors choose the safest option for you.
This trial compares two types of anesthetic gases, isoflurane and sevoflurane, to see which one causes less oxidative stress (a type of cell damage) during gallbladder removal surgery. It may help surgeons choose the safer option for patients.
This study looks at whether the anesthesia drug desflurane might affect memory or thinking in older adults after surgery. Researchers want to understand how this happens and find ways to prevent it.
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.
