Anesthesia types and stress response in weight-loss surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two anesthesia methods—inhaled gas (desflurane) versus IV medication (TIVA)—during weight-loss surgery to see how each affects your body's stress response and recovery. The goal is to understand which approach may be safer and more comfortable for patients having bariatric surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two types of anesthesia during bariatric surgery: one that avoids opioids and one that uses them. The goal is to see which approach leads to a better recovery.
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 trial tests a method to control inflammation during bariatric surgery. It may help patients recover better and have fewer complications.
This trial studies whether an opioid-free or opioid-sparing care pathway can improve comfort and outcomes for adults undergoing laparoscopic weight-loss surgery. It may help people avoid side effects from opioid pain medicines while still managing pain safely.
This study compares how anesthetic medications behave in the bodies of people with normal weight versus overweight or obese patients undergoing surgery. Understanding these differences may help doctors choose safer anesthesia doses for each patient.
This study tests whether adding dexmedetomidine or ketamine during bariatric surgery helps control pain better. It may help reduce the need for stronger pain medicines after surgery.
