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 study compares two types of anesthesia to see which one helps people recover better after weight-loss (gastric bypass) surgery. If you are having this surgery, the study may help you wake up and recover more smoothly.
This study compares two ways of providing anesthesia during weight-loss surgery: one that uses opioid painkillers and one that does not. The goal is to see if avoiding opioids leads to better recovery and fewer complications after surgery.
This trial tests a method to control inflammation during bariatric surgery. It may help patients recover better and have fewer complications.
This study looks at how anesthesia medicines work in the body during surgery for people who are overweight or obese. It aims to improve safety and comfort during anesthesia, which may lead to better outcomes and 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 two medicines, dexmedetomidine and ketamine, added to standard anesthesia to see which one provides better pain control during and after weight-loss surgery. It aims to improve recovery and comfort for patients.
