Comparing Two Anesthetics for Recovery After Upper Airway Surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two medications used during general anesthesia to see which one helps patients recover faster after surgery on the nose, mouth, throat, or voice box. Both drugs are commonly used, and the goal is to find which provides a smoother and quicker return to normal waking up.

This trial tests whether using remimazolam or propofol during hip or knee replacement surgery can lower the risk of postoperative delirium, a sudden, short-term confusion that can happen after anesthesia. It may help people who are at higher risk of postoperative confusion by finding the safer anesthesia approach.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (remimazolam and propofol) during robot-assisted hysterectomy to see how they affect the heart and blood pressure. It aims to find which may be safer or better tolerated.
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 anesthesia used during nasal surgery to see if one causes less confusion or restlessness when waking up. If you are having nasal surgery with general anesthesia, this trial may help find a gentler way to recover from anesthesia.
This trial compares two sedative medications, Remimazolam and Propofol, to see which works better for upper GI endoscopy exams and treatments. The goal is to help doctors choose the best option for patients.
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.
