Comparing two medications for stable vital signs during breathing tube removal
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests two different medications—dexmedetomidine and lignocaine—to see which one better keeps your heart rate and blood pressure stable when doctors remove your breathing tube after surgery. The goal is to find the safest, most affordable approach, especially in hospitals with limited resources.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old
- You are in good overall health (ASA I status—no serious pre-existing medical conditions)
- Your blood pressure is normal before surgery (systolic less than 140, diastolic less than 90)
- You are having a planned surgery (not an emergency) that requires general anesthesia and a breathing tube
- You have no known allergies to dexmedetomidine or lignocaine
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

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 study compares two medications used during anesthesia to see how they affect heart rate and blood pressure when a breathing tube is placed. It aims to find which medication provides more stable vital signs during surgery.
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 if a medication called dexmedetomidine (given as a mist through a nebulizer) can help keep your heart rate and blood pressure steady when a breathing tube is placed for surgery. It may be an option for people having planned surgery who want a smoother experience.
This trial compares two medications given before surgery to see which one better keeps your heart rate and blood pressure stable when the breathing tube is placed. It is for people with controlled high blood pressure who are having planned surgery.
This trial tests two medications—metoprolol (a heart-rate slowing drug) and sufentanil (a pain reliever)—given together to prevent dangerous changes in heart rate and blood pressure when a breathing tube is placed during surgery. You would receive these as part of your normal anesthesia.
