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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a lower gas flow rate during general anesthesia to see how much of the anesthetic drug (sevoflurane) is used. It may help reduce medication waste and costs while keeping you safely asleep during surgery.
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 trial tests whether a gentler anesthesia technique (low-flow anesthesia) is as safe and effective as standard anesthesia for patients having their gallbladder removed by laparoscopy. It aims to confirm the technique's benefits, such as less medication use and steadier recovery.
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 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 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.
