Closed-loop anesthesia with esketamine for laparoscopic surgery
This study tests a new way to adjust anesthesia automatically during laparoscopic surgery. It uses a low dose of esketamine and EEG brain monitoring to keep you at the right level of sedation.

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.
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 if a low-dose anesthetic called S-ketamine can safely help patients over 65 recover better after scheduled chest, belly, or bone surgery. It aims to find a gentler option for older adults.
This trial tests whether esketamine, an anesthetic, can help reduce severe depression symptoms in women having breast cancer surgery. You may qualify if you have severe depression before surgery.
This study tests if a low-dose medicine called esketamine (related to ketamine) can help improve sleep after spinal surgery. It is for adults having planned spinal surgery under general anesthesia.
This trial tests whether giving a medication called esketamine during breast cancer surgery can help reduce negative emotions like depression and anxiety after surgery. It is for women who already have mild to severe depression symptoms.
