Comparing low-flow and normal-flow anesthesia effects
This study compares two types of anesthesia gas flow (low-flow vs normal-flow) to see how it affects certain markers in your blood. Researchers want to understand which method might be better for your body during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between the ages of 18 and 70.
- You are considered healthy (ASA I) with no major medical conditions.
- Your surgery will use inhalational (gas) anesthesia and last at least 2 hours.
- You are not a smoker.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or having emergency or trauma surgery.
- You will not need a blood transfusion during surgery.

This study compares two anesthesia gas levels during robot-assisted prostate removal surgery. It tests if a lower gas flow is safer than the lowest possible flow for patients undergoing this robotic procedure.
This trial measures how much anesthesia gas (sevoflurane) is used during surgery when using a special low fresh-gas-flow technique. The goal is to understand anesthesia efficiency and potentially reduce waste.
This study looks at how blood pressure medicines affect blood flow to the brain during general anesthesia for planned surgery. It may help doctors understand how to better manage care during operations.
This study compares two different ways of giving anesthesia gas (sevoflurane) during gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers will measure how each method affects your heart's electrical activity to see if one is safer than the other.
This trial studies whether giving higher or lower oxygen during general anesthesia changes heart and lung outcomes after planned (non-emergency) non-heart surgery. It may help doctors choose safer oxygen settings during surgery for people at higher risk for heart problems.
This study tests a low-flow anesthesia method during open-heart surgery to see if it works well and safely. It may help patients by using less medication.
