Propofol dosing for safer blood pressure during surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.

This trial tests a way to give the anesthetic drug propofol during sleep induction for high-risk patients having major, planned surgery. It uses a computer-controlled pump to deliver the drug, aiming to keep your blood pressure more stable.
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 study tests different ways of giving propofol (a medicine to make you sleep during surgery) to see which method works best. If you are having planned surgery with a breathing tube, this trial might help improve how anesthesia is given.
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 a new way to give propofol, the medicine that puts you to sleep for surgery, to reduce the burning or stinging pain it can cause when first injected. You may be able to join if you are having planned (non-emergency) surgery and are not given certain other medicines beforehand.
