Dexmedetomidine for Blood Pressure Stability During Neck Artery Surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a medication called dexmedetomidine can help keep blood pressure stable during carotid endarterectomy (a surgery to clean out arteries in the neck). The goal is to reduce the need for other blood pressure medications during surgery.

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 trial tests if adding a second medicine, ketamine, to dexmedetomidine helps control blood pressure better during ear or nose surgery. It may lead to safer and smoother anesthesia for patients needing controlled low blood pressure.
This study tests if dexmedetomidine can help prevent dangerous blood pressure spikes during breathing tube placement for surgery in patients with high blood pressure. It is for older adults (over 60) who have been managing their hypertension for at least 6 months.
This trial tests whether giving a medicine called dexmedetomidine before surgery can reduce pain during and after the operation. It is for adults having non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia.
This trial compares two medicines (dexmedetomidine and labetalol) to see which one better controls stress on the airway during brain surgery in people with high blood pressure. The goal is to find a safer way to manage your heart rate and blood pressure while you are under anesthesia.
This trial compares two medications, labetalol and dexmedetomidine, given as infusions to lower blood pressure during ear, nose, and throat surgeries. The goal is to find which drug works better and safer for patients.
