Etomidate dose for surgery in people with insomnia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how much etomidate (a sleep-inducing medicine used during surgery) is needed for people with insomnia compared to those who sleep normally. It aims to help doctors give safer and more effective doses for patients with insomnia who need general anesthesia.
