Sedative drug mix for elderly abdominal surgery patients
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a mix of two sedative drugs (etomidate and propofol) is safer than using propofol alone for elderly patients having abdominal surgery. It aims to find which approach leads to fewer side effects during and after the procedure.
