Comparing two anesthetics on stress response during surgery
Treatments studied
This study compares two common anesthetics, sevoflurane and desflurane, to see how they affect a measure of stress called the Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) during surgery. It aims to find which one might be better for patients undergoing general anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 19 and 79 years old
- You are scheduled for surgery with general anesthesia

- You have no history of seizure, depression, dementia, stroke, diabetes, arrhythmia, or substance abuse

This study tests how two common anesthesia medications—remimazolam (a sedative) and sevoflurane (an inhaled gas)—work together in your body during planned surgery. Understanding this combination may help doctors use safer anesthesia doses in the future.
This study compares two common anesthesia drugs, sevoflurane and propofol, to see which one keeps your heart rate more stable during surgery. It uses a special monitor (ANI) to measure stress on your nervous system.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (desflurane and sevoflurane) to see if one causes less confusion after surgery in older adults. It may help if you are 65 or older and having a non-heart, non-brain surgery lasting at least 2 hours.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia during weight loss surgery to see which one is better for recovery. It may help patients wake up more comfortably after surgery.
This study compares two types of general anesthesia for older adults (70+) having planned non-heart, non-brain surgery that lasts at least 2 hours. The goal is to see which type might be better for preserving thinking and memory after surgery.
This study compares three different anesthesia medicines to see which one might lower the chance of confusion or delirium after major surgery. If you are 65 or older and having a long, planned non-heart surgery, this trial could help determine the safest option for you.
