Nasal spray for blood pressure during cataract surgery in older adults
Treatments studied
Part of Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a nasal spray of dexmedetomidine can help control blood pressure in older adults with high blood pressure who are having cataract surgery. It may keep your blood pressure more stable during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests two sedation medicines (dexmedetomidine and propofol) used to keep patients calm and comfortable during cataract surgery. Researchers want to see which combination works best and is safest for this common procedure.
This study tests two medicines given before surgery to see which one better controls blood pressure and heart rate during the start of anesthesia. It may help people with high blood pressure have a safer and smoother experience when they are put to sleep for surgery.
This trial tests if a medicine called dexmedetomidine can help prevent agitation after nose surgery. You may be eligible if you are a healthy adult having planned nose surgery.
This trial compares two medications given during brain surgery to help control pressure around the optic nerve. The goal is to see which medication is better at protecting the eyes during the procedure.
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.
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.
