Dexmedetomidine vs Labetalol for Airway Stress in Brain Surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two medicines (dexmedetomidine and labetalol) to see which one better controls stress on the airway during brain surgery in people with high blood pressure. The goal is to find a safer way to manage your heart rate and blood pressure while you are under anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 60 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with high blood pressure.
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) brain surgery under general anesthesia.
- You are otherwise healthy enough for surgery (ASA level II).
- You are able and willing to give informed consent.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving a single dose of dexmedetomidine (a medicine that helps calm the body's stress response) before surgery can reduce the stress on your heart and blood pressure when a breathing tube is placed. It may help you recover more smoothly.
This trial compares two medications, labetalol and dexmedetomidine, given as infusions to lower blood pressure during ear, nose, and throat surgeries. The goal is to find which drug works better and safer for patients.
This trial compares two medications given before surgery to see which one better keeps your heart rate and blood pressure stable when the breathing tube is placed. It is for people with controlled high blood pressure who are having planned surgery.
This trial tests whether dexmedetomidine or lignocaine better prevents dangerous heart-rate and blood-pressure changes when a breathing tube is placed during heart surgery. If you're having cardiac surgery and are at high risk for heart complications, this study may help protect your heart during the procedure.
This study tests if dexmedetomidine can help prevent dangerous blood pressure spikes during breathing tube placement for surgery in patients with high blood pressure. It is for older adults (over 60) who have been managing their hypertension for at least 6 months.
This trial tests if adding a second medicine, ketamine, to dexmedetomidine helps control blood pressure better during ear or nose surgery. It may lead to safer and smoother anesthesia for patients needing controlled low blood pressure.
