Comparing two anesthesia combinations for chest surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two different anesthesia combinations for chest surgeries to see which one works better for keeping you comfortable and stable during the operation. Participants will receive one of the two combinations, helping doctors learn which approach is safer and more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You must be scheduled for elective chest surgery (like removing part of a lung or part of the food pipe) under general anesthesia with natural breathing preserved.
- You must be in generally good health (classified as ASA I-III), meaning you have no severe overall health problems.
- You must be able to give written consent to participate.
- You cannot have severe liver or kidney disease, severe lung disease, or a known difficult airway.
- You cannot be allergic to any of the study medicines, be pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a mental illness that makes it hard to cooperate.

This trial compares the anesthesia medicines remimazolam and propofol during major surgery to see how patients do afterward. It may help guide which anesthetic is safer or leads to better recovery in higher-risk patients.
This trial tests a newer anesthetic drug, remimazolam, during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It aims to see if it is safe and works well for patients having this type of surgery.
This trial tests whether a combination of two medications helps keep blood pressure steady and reduces bleeding during ear, nose, or throat surgery. It is comparing giving just one pain medication versus the pain medication plus a blood pressure-lowering drug.
This trial tests two different anesthesia medicines during liver surgery to see which one keeps blood pressure more stable. If you are having a planned liver operation, this study could help improve how anesthesia is given.
This trial compares two types of general anesthesia to see which one keeps your blood pressure and heart rate more stable during surgery to repair an aortic aneurysm. The goal is to find a safer anesthesia option for this procedure.
This study compares two types of anesthesia to see which one better preserves brain function and recovery after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It aims to help patients wake up more clearly and maintain cognitive function after surgery.
