Dexmedetomidine and desflurane for laparoscopic colon surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a combination of two drugs (dexmedetomidine and desflurane) used during keyhole colon surgery to see if it helps with recovery. It is designed for generally healthy adults having a planned laparoscopic colectomy.

This trial tests a sedative medication called dexmedetomidine to see if it helps control pain and speed up recovery after laparoscopic-assisted bowel surgery. It is for adults aged 18 to 70 who are having elective or semi-elective procedures like bowel resection or ileostomy reversal.
This trial tests if a sedative called dexmedetomidine can lower the amount of anesthetic (sevoflurane) needed to block body responses during keyhole gallbladder surgery. If it works, it may make anesthesia safer for patients.
This trial studies whether the anesthesia medicines ketamine and dexmedetomidine can improve care during elective lung (video-assisted) surgery. It may help with comfort during and after the operation, depending on how these medicines affect pain and recovery.
This study tests if adding a calming medicine (dexmedetomidine) during surgery can reduce the amount of a strong, short-acting painkiller (remifentanil) needed. It may help you have a smoother recovery with fewer side effects.
This trial tests if adding two medicines (esketamine and dexmedetomidine) during your thoracoscopic (keyhole) lung surgery helps you recover better and feel less discomfort afterward.
This trial studies whether adding a medication called dexmedetomidine during cancer surgery can improve long-term survival. It is for older adults having major cancer surgery that lasts at least two hours and who will need a pain pump after the operation.
