Comparing two anesthesia methods for ear, nose, and throat surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a combination of two medications helps keep blood pressure steady and reduces bleeding during ear, nose, or throat surgery. It is comparing giving just one pain medication versus the pain medication plus a blood pressure-lowering drug.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You should be in overall good health (no serious heart, lung, kidney, or liver problems).

This study compares two medicines used during nasal surgery to keep blood pressure stable and reduce bleeding. One is a short-acting painkiller (remifentanil), and the other is a blood pressure-lowering drug (nicardipine). If you are having planned nasal surgery eliminated for participation, you might be eligible.
This study compares two different anesthesia combinations for chest surgeries to see which one works better for keeping you comfortable and stable during the operation. Participants will receive one of the two combinations, helping doctors learn which approach is safer and more effective.
This trial compares the anesthesia medicines remimazolam and propofol during major surgery to see how patients do afterward. It may help guide which anesthetic is safer or leads to better recovery in higher-risk patients.
This study tests a way to reduce side effects like nausea and vomiting from a common pain medicine used during surgery. If you are having elective surgery, you may qualify.
This trial compares two medications given during anesthesia for a procedure to treat a brain aneurysm. The goal is to find which one keeps your heart rate and blood pressure more stable during the breathing tube placement.
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.
