Low-dose sedative before gallbladder surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a low dose of a sedative medicine (dexmedetomidine) given before surgery can help patients undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It aims to improve comfort and safety during general anesthesia.
