Finding the best drug doses to steady heart and blood pressure during anesthesia
Treatments studied
This trial tests different doses of two medicines, metoprolol and sufentanil, given before placing a breathing tube during anesthesia to keep your heart rate and blood pressure stable. It aims to find the best balance to reduce stress on your body during intubation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You should be in good general health or have only mild health issues.
- You must be having surgery that is not on your heart, lungs, or brain, and you'll be under general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
- You cannot have serious heart or lung conditions like uncontrolled high blood pressure or asthma.
- You must not be currently taking beta-blockers (medications for heart conditions).

This study tests two medicines given before surgery to see which one better controls blood pressure and heart rate during the start of anesthesia. It may help people with high blood pressure have a safer and smoother experience when they are put to sleep for surgery.
This trial compares two commonly used blood-pressure medicines—atenolol and metoprolol—to see which one works best for keeping blood pressure safely low during nasal surgeries. It may help patients have more stable anesthesia while reducing side effects from blood pressure changes.
This study compares two medications, dexmedetomidine and lignocaine, to see which one better keeps your heart rate and blood pressure stable when the breathing tube is removed after surgery. It aims to find a safe and effective option, especially in settings with limited resources.
This trial tests whether adding lidocaine or sufentanil to a standard anesthetic drug (etomidate) helps reduce the dose of remifentanil needed to place a breathing tube comfortably. It may help patients undergoing planned surgery with general anesthesia.
This trial tests whether dexmedetomidine or lignocaine better prevents dangerous heart-rate and blood-pressure changes when a breathing tube is placed during heart surgery. If you're having cardiac surgery and are at high risk for heart complications, this study may help protect your heart during the procedure.
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.
