This trial tests if adding two medicines (esketamine and dexmedetomidine) during your thoracoscopic (keyhole) lung surgery helps you recover better and feel less discomfort afterward.
This study tests if esketamine, given during surgery, helps protect thinking and memory in patients 60 and older having face or jaw surgery. It aims to see if the drug can reduce cognitive decline after the procedure.
This trial tests a combination of a medication called esketamine and raising both legs to keep blood pressure stable when older adults go under anesthesia for chest surgery. It may help avoid sudden drops in blood pressure during the start of anesthesia.
This study tests whether esketamine (a type of pain reliever) given after surgery can help older patients recover their thinking and memory better. You would be 65–90 years old and having a surgery lasting at least 2 hours.
This study tests whether a low dose of the medicine esketamine can help prevent confusion after surgery in older adults at higher risk. You may qualify if you are 65 or older, planning a major non-cardiac surgery, and have certain health conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes.
