This trial tests if adding two medicines, dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine, helps the stomach and intestines work better after keyhole gallbladder removal. The goal is to see if the combination can get your digestion back to normal faster.
This trial tests whether a low dose of a sedative medicine (dexmedetomidine) given before surgery can help patients undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It aims to improve comfort and safety during general anesthesia.
This study tests two different medication combinations to prevent nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery. You'll receive either ondansetron plus metoclopramide, or dexamethasone plus metoclopramide, and researchers will track how quickly you need rescue medication if nausea occurs.
This study compares two medications, dexmedetomidine and lignocaine, to see which works better for pain management during and after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help improve comfort and recovery for people having this surgery.
This trial tests if dexmedetomidine or methylprednisolone is better at reducing inflammation during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with a heart-lung machine. The goal is to find a treatment that helps patients recover better.
This trial tests if a sedative called dexmedetomidine can lower the amount of anesthetic (sevoflurane) needed to block body responses during keyhole gallbladder surgery. If it works, it may make anesthesia safer for patients.
