Comparing two anesthesia plans for chest surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a newer anesthesia drug (remimazolam) combined with alfentanil against a standard drug (propofol) combined with alfentanil for people having chest surgery. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer.
