Comparing two drugs to steady heart rate during gallbladder surgery
This trial tests two medicines, labetalol and lignocaine, given through a vein to see which better controls blood pressure and heart rate during the tube placed in your windpipe for a routine gallbladder removal surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) gallbladder removal using small incisions (laparoscopic).
- You are in good general health (classified as ASA I or II).
- You have no allergy to labetalol or lignocaine.
- You do not take medicine for high blood pressure, have no heart, kidney, liver, or hormone problems, and are not pregnant or nursing.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 35.
- You do not have a known difficult airway (e.g., trouble with breathing tubes before).

This trial tests whether a gentler anesthesia technique (low-flow anesthesia) is as safe and effective as standard anesthesia for patients having their gallbladder removed by laparoscopy. It aims to confirm the technique's benefits, such as less medication use and steadier recovery.
This study tests two different pain medicines (fentanyl and nalbuphine) added to a standard numbing drug, given into the belly during gallbladder removal surgery. The goal is to see which one provides better pain relief after surgery, with fewer side effects.
This trial compares two types of anesthetic gases, isoflurane and sevoflurane, to see which one causes less oxidative stress (a type of cell damage) during gallbladder removal surgery. It may help surgeons choose the safer option for patients.
This study compares two medications, dexmedetomidine and lignocaine, to see which works better for pain management during and after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help improve comfort and recovery for people having this 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 trial tests two different pain medicines, nalbuphine and fentanyl, to see which one causes fewer changes in blood pressure and heart rate during the placement of a breathing tube for heart surgery.
