Esketamine and leg elevation for stable blood pressure during surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of a medication called esketamine and raising both legs to keep blood pressure stable when older adults go under anesthesia for chest surgery. It may help avoid sudden drops in blood pressure during the start of anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a low dose of the medicine esketamine can help prevent confusion after surgery in older adults at higher risk. You may qualify if you are 65 or older, planning a major non-cardiac surgery, and have certain health conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes.
This study tests if a low-dose anesthetic called S-ketamine can safely help patients over 65 recover better after scheduled chest, belly, or bone surgery. It aims to find a gentler option for older adults.
This study tests if a low dose of ketamine (a pain medicine) given before spinal anesthesia can prevent dangerously low blood pressure during orthopedic surgery. It might help keep your blood pressure steady, making the procedure safer.
This trial tests whether giving small doses of ephedrine during surgery can prevent dangerously low blood pressure in adults undergoing major abdominal surgery. It may help patients who are at risk for this complication.
This study tests whether esketamine (a type of pain reliever) given after surgery can help older patients recover their thinking and memory better. You would be 65–90 years old and having a surgery lasting at least 2 hours.
This study tests if esketamine, given during surgery, helps protect thinking and memory in patients 60 and older having face or jaw surgery. It aims to see if the drug can reduce cognitive decline after the procedure.
