Propofol dose and memory during anesthesia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the amount of propofol (a sleep medicine) used during anesthesia affects your ability to form memories without being aware of it. It may help doctors understand how to better manage memory during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having general anesthesia with a specific type of drug delivery called TIVA-TCI (total intravenous anesthesia with target-controlled infusion).
- You are healthy enough to be classified as ASA I, II, or III (a standard measure of physical health before surgery).
- You will not receive a benzodiazepine (a sedative medication) before your anesthesia.
- You do not have a current neurological (brain or nerve) or psychiatric (mental health) condition.

This study tests whether adding a sedative called dexmedetomidine changes brain activity during general anesthesia. It aims to improve how anesthesia is given.
This study wants to see if we can predict the right amount of propofol (a sleep medicine) needed for deep anesthesia during surgery. It may help doctors give just the right dose for each person.
This study looks at how the anesthetic drug propofol works in older adults during planned surgeries. The goal is to find the right dose for safe and effective anesthesia.
This trial tests a new way of giving the anesthetic propofol to keep your blood pressure more stable during surgery. It may help reduce side effects like dizziness or fainting after the procedure.
This study looks at how children recover from anesthesia when they receive propofol through an IV during surgery. It compares recovery in toddlers (ages 3-5) and older children (ages 6-12) to help improve anesthesia care for kids.
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.
