Comparing two sedation medicines during cataract surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests two sedation medicines (dexmedetomidine and propofol) used to keep patients calm and comfortable during cataract surgery. Researchers want to see which combination works best and is safest for this common procedure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how well sedation (medication to help you relax) works during cataract surgery when only numbing drops are used on the eye. It may help patients who are anxious or uncomfortable during the procedure.
This trial compares two common medications, dexmedetomidine and fentanyl, when added to the numbing drug bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia. The goal is to see which one has a lower risk of causing temporary difficulty urinating after surgery on a leg or foot.
This trial tests whether a drug called dexmedetomidine, given during general anesthesia, helps keep your heart rate and blood pressure stable during outpatient surgery. It may be an option if you are having a minor surgery and are not on certain heart medications.
This study looks at how a sleep medicine called dexmedetomidine affects thinking and memory after heart surgery. It compares cognitive outcomes over time to see if this sedation choice changes long-term brain function.
This trial compares two sedation and pain relief medicine combinations (dexmedetomidine vs. midazolam-fentanyl) to see which works better for people having planned heart valve surgery.
This trial tests if dexmedetomidate or midazolam is safer and works better for sedation during a medical thoracoscopy, a procedure to look inside the chest. It may help you if you need this procedure for an unclear pleural effusion.
