Sevoflurane vs. propofol for preventing confusion after surgery in older diabetics
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial compares two common anesthesia drugs (sevoflurane gas vs. propofol injection) to see which one lowers the risk of confusion or delirium after surgery in older adults with diabetes. It aims to find a safer way to give anesthesia for your operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 60 years or older.
- You must have diabetes.

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.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (desflurane and sevoflurane) to see if one causes less confusion after surgery in older adults. It may help if you are 65 or older and having a non-heart, non-brain surgery lasting at least 2 hours.
This study compares three different anesthesia medicines to see which one might lower the chance of confusion or delirium after major surgery. If you are 65 or older and having a long, planned non-heart surgery, this trial could help determine the safest option for you.
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.
This study looks at how often older adults develop sudden confusion (delirium) after non-heart operations under general anesthesia. It may help doctors better predict who is at risk and improve care after surgery.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (propofol and sevoflurane) to see which one helps prevent confusion and delirium after surgery. Delirium is a temporary state of confusion that can happen after surgery, and researchers want to understand which anesthesia approach might reduce this risk.
