Dexmedetomidine for heart stability during outpatient surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a drug called dexmedetomidine, given during general anesthesia, helps keep your heart rate and blood pressure stable during outpatient surgery. It may be an option if you are having a minor surgery and are not on certain heart medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a scheduled surgery under general anesthesia (like oral, orthopedic, urological, digestive, or gynecological procedures).
- You are not taking certain heart or blood pressure medications (beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, or ARB2s).
- You do not have serious heart problems (like coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, severe high blood pressure, or heart rhythm issues).
- Your resting heart rate is at least 50 beats per minute.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or in a period of exclusion from another study.

This study looks at how a sleep medicine called dexmedetomidine affects thinking and memory after heart surgery. It compares cognitive outcomes over time to see if this sedation choice changes long-term brain function.
This trial studies whether adding a medication called dexmedetomidine during cancer surgery can improve long-term survival. It is for older adults having major cancer surgery that lasts at least two hours and who will need a pain pump after the operation.
This trial tests whether giving a single dose of dexmedetomidine (a medicine that helps calm the body's stress response) before surgery can reduce the stress on your heart and blood pressure when a breathing tube is placed. It may help you recover more smoothly.
This trial tests adding a sedative medicine called dexmedetomidine to standard anesthesia for children aged 3 to 12 who are having a procedure to close a hole in their heart (atrial septal defect). The goal is to see if it helps them recover more smoothly.
This trial tests whether dexmedetomidine or lignocaine better prevents dangerous heart-rate and blood-pressure changes when a breathing tube is placed during heart surgery. If you're having cardiac surgery and are at high risk for heart complications, this study may help protect your heart during the procedure.
This trial studies a two-part pain pump given through a vein during major laparoscopic abdominal surgery to help control pain with general anesthesia. It may help by improving comfort while also avoiding certain side effects for people who can safely receive the study medicine.
