Comparing two sleep medicines for frail older adults during surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two medicines used to put patients to sleep before major abdominal surgery. It aims to find which one is safer and works better for frail older adults.

- You are having major abdominal surgery with general anesthesia.
- You have a frailty score of 3 or higher.

This trial compares two sedative medicines, ciprofol and propofol, to see which works better for older patients having surgery without a breathing tube. It aims to find the safer option for your heart and lungs.
This study tests whether ciprofol, a newer sedative, can help prevent low blood pressure during surgery in older patients who are already taking medications for high blood pressure or heart failure (called RAS inhibitors). It may be a good option if you're 65 or older, on these medications for more than 3 months, and having abdominal surgery lasting over 2 hours.
This study tests if giving the sedative ciprofol in carefully adjusted doses can prevent low blood pressure during and after laparoscopic belly surgery in older adults. It may help your surgical team keep your blood pressure stable.
This study compares two medications (ciprofol and propofol) used to keep ICU patients calm and comfortable while they receive non-invasive breathing support, such as oxygen masks or tubes that help them breathe without a breathing tube in their windpipe. Researchers want to see which drug works better and is safer.
This study compares two sedative medications, ciprofol and propofol, for children (ages 3–11) during tonsil or adenoid removal surgery. It uses special brain-wave monitors (IoC1 and IoC2) to see which drug provides safer, more stable sedation.
This study compares two anesthetic drugs (ciprofol and propofol) to see which one is safer for the brain during surgery to remove a brain tumor. It focuses on patients whose tumors cause significant brain swelling or pressure.
