This study tests different timing for giving a painkiller called sufentanil before placing a breathing tube during general anesthesia, to reduce coughing during the procedure. If you're having planned surgery under general anesthesia and don't have certain lung or heart conditions, you may be able to join.
This study compares a new painkiller (oliceridine) to a standard one (sufentanil) to see which works better at stopping coughing when you first go under anesthesia for surgery. It may help you have a smoother start to your procedure.
This trial tests whether a breathing mist of two medicines (dexmedetomidine plus ketamine) works better than dexmedetomidine alone during cleft palate repair surgery. It may help improve comfort and safety around anesthesia for eligible patients.
This study tests two medicines, dexmedetomidine and lidocaine, given during sinus surgery to see which one better prevents confusion or restlessness when waking up from anesthesia. If you're having sinus surgery, you might be able to join and help find a better way to recover calmly.
This trial tests whether adding magnesium or lidocaine to a standard sedative can reduce coughing after functional endoscopic sinus surgery. The goal is to help patients recover more comfortably.
This trial tests whether putting lidocaine gel on the breathing tube before surgery can reduce post-operative sore throat and coughing. It aims to make recovery more comfortable for patients having general anesthesia.
