Finding the best anesthesia dose for older adults during urological surgery
This study tests a new way to give anesthesia to older adults during urological surgery. It aims to find the best dose of a medicine (tegline) to help place a small breathing tube (laryngeal mask) comfortably and safely, reducing side effects.

This study compares two types of anesthesia during urological surgery: inhaled gases versus a medicine called dexmedetomidine. The goal is to see which one helps you recover more smoothly in the recovery room.
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 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 study compares two types of breathing tubes used during general anesthesia to see which works better for people having trauma surgery. It aims to find which tube provides safer and easier airway management during the procedure.
This study compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia (numbing medication in the back) for older adults having leg or hip surgery. It aims to see if adjusting the dose based on height works better than the standard fixed dose. If you are between 60 and 80 and having planned lower limb surgery, you may be eligible.
This trial tests different doses of two medicines, metoprolol and sufentanil, given before placing a breathing tube during anesthesia to keep your heart rate and blood pressure stable. It aims to find the best balance to reduce stress on your body during intubation.
