Propofol sleep induction in high-risk surgery patients
This trial tests a way to give the anesthetic drug propofol during sleep induction for high-risk patients having major, planned surgery. It uses a computer-controlled pump to deliver the drug, aiming to keep your blood pressure more stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- Your overall health is rated as ASA class 3 or 4 (serious or life-threatening illness)
- You are having a planned major surgery (not an emergency)
- You need to have a blood pressure monitoring line placed in an artery before you go to sleep
- You do not have certain heart rhythm problems, severe valve disease, morbid obesity, difficulty with placing a breathing tube, drug addiction, or are not taking regular opioid pain medication

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 trial studies a “closed-loop” anesthesia delivery system that automatically adjusts anesthesia during surgery. It may help by making anesthesia more consistent and safer while you’re undergoing planned non-heart surgery.
This trial studies whether adjusting how propofol (an anesthesia medicine) is dosed based on total body weight improves anesthesia delivery during longer surgeries. It mainly targets people with a higher body mass index having surgery that lasts over an hour.
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 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 trial compares two ways of giving anesthesia during planned brain surgery on the upper part of the brain. It tests if using a computer-controlled system to deliver the anesthesia drugs is better than manually adjusting them.
