Wash-in period for low flow anesthesia
This study tests whether a 'wash-in' period (a gentle start to general anesthesia) affects how well patients do during and after low-flow gas anesthesia. It is for adults having surgery lasting 2–4 hours who are generally healthy or have only minor health issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your surgery will last between 2 and 4 hours and requires general anesthesia.
- Your physical status is ASA I or II (meaning you are healthy or have only mild disease).
- You have no severe lung problems (like COPD, asthma with flare-ups, or needing oxygen at home).
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation in the last 2 months.

This study tests two different levels of anaesthesia gas flow during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery to see how they affect your blood pressure and heart rate. If you are having this surgery, participating might help improve how anaesthesia is given during similar procedures.
This trial tests whether a device that measures skin blood flow can help monitor children safely during low-flow anesthesia. It is for children aged 2–12 having non-emergency surgery lasting 1–6 hours.
This study compares two types of anesthesia gas flow (low-flow vs normal-flow) to see how it affects certain markers in your blood. Researchers want to understand which method might be better for your body during surgery.
This study tests a low-flow anesthesia method during open-heart surgery to see if it works well and safely. It may help patients by using less medication.
This trial tests a lower gas flow rate during general anesthesia to see how much of the anesthetic drug (sevoflurane) is used. It may help reduce medication waste and costs while keeping you safely asleep during surgery.
This study tests the best air pressure to use with a mask to keep air out of the stomach when you first go to sleep for surgery. It helps make anesthesia safer and more comfortable for you.
