Propofol dosing for safer blood pressure during surgery
This trial tests a new way of giving the anesthetic propofol to keep your blood pressure more stable during surgery. It may help reduce side effects like dizziness or fainting after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 55 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for specific types of surgery (such as ear/nose/throat, gynecologic, orthopedic, or others) under general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
- Your planned anesthesia uses propofol and remifentanil through a target-controlled infusion pump.
- You are in good enough health for surgery (classified as ASA I to IV).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 35.
- You are able to give written consent and understand German or follow study procedures.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether adjusting how propofol (an anesthesia medicine) is dosed based on total body weight improves anesthesia delivery during longer surgeries. It mainly targets people with a higher body mass index having surgery that lasts over an hour.
This trial compares the anesthesia medicines remimazolam and propofol during major surgery to see how patients do afterward. It may help guide which anesthetic is safer or leads to better recovery in higher-risk patients.
This trial studies a “closed-loop” anesthesia delivery system that automatically adjusts anesthesia during surgery. It may help by making anesthesia more consistent and safer while you’re undergoing planned non-heart surgery.
This study compares two different ways of giving the sedative medicine propofol during surgery that requires a breathing tube. The goal is to find which method is safer and works better for people having planned operations.
This study looks at how the anesthetic drug propofol works in older adults during planned surgeries. The goal is to find the right dose for safe and effective anesthesia.
This study tests whether ciprofol, a newer sedative, can help prevent low blood pressure during surgery in older patients who are already taking medications for high blood pressure or heart failure (called RAS inhibitors). It may be a good option if you're 65 or older, on these medications for more than 3 months, and having abdominal surgery lasting over 2 hours.
