Comparing two sedatives for frail elderly surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two sedative medications, propofol and ciprofol, to see which works better and is safer for older, frail patients having major abdominal surgery. The goal is to find the best way to start anesthesia gently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for a major abdominal surgery with general anesthesia.
- You are considered frail (you feel weak or have trouble with daily activities).
- Your doctors will use a special arterial line to monitor your blood pressure during surgery.
- You do not have severe heart rhythm problems, severe valve disease, or poorly controlled high blood pressure.
- You do not have low blood pressure before surgery or kidney problems (based on blood tests).

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 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 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 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 trial tests a sedative called ciprofol in older adults having a painless colonoscopy. It will measure how the drug affects your heart's ability to pump blood. This may help doctors choose safer sedation for elderly patients.
