Breath-based monitoring for safer anesthesia
This study tests a new way to monitor anesthesia depth by continuously analyzing exhaled breath, which may reduce the need for invasive monitoring. It could help patients avoid too much or too little anesthesia during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- Your physical status should be class I to III on the ASA scale (generally healthy to mild or moderate health problems)
- Your surgery is expected to last more than 1 hour
- You will have a catheter placed in your radial artery (wrist) for monitoring
- Your doctor plans to use BIS monitoring (a device that tracks brain activity during anesthesia)

This study tests how well a computer model predicts the dose of a new anesthetic called cipepofol during planned surgeries that last at least an hour. The goal is to see if the model gives the right amount of drug for safe and effective anesthesia.
This trial studies a “closed-loop” anesthesia delivery system that automatically adjusts anesthesia during surgery. It may help by making anesthesia more consistent and safer while you’re undergoing planned non-heart surgery.
This study examines how well a brain-monitoring device (called a bispectral index monitor) tracks your level of consciousness during surgery when you receive anesthesia through an IV. The findings may help doctors better manage anesthesia and keep you safer during procedures.
This study tests a new way to monitor breathing in patients receiving anesthesia through a mask-like device placed above the voice box, while they breathe on their own. It focuses on people having planned breast surgery, not emergency cases.
This trial studies breath sounds during planned surgeries under general anesthesia. It aims to understand how breath sounds change during procedures, which may help doctors improve monitoring and care.
This study tests whether carefully monitoring how deep your anesthesia is during spinal surgery can help older adults recover better and think more clearly afterward.
