This trial compares two common medications, ketamine and magnesium sulfate, given as a mist (nebulized) before surgery to see which is better at preventing a sore throat after having a breathing tube during anesthesia. It may be a good option for you if you are having elective surgery that requires a breathing tube.
This trial compares two gels (betamethasone and lidocaine) applied to the breathing tube to see which is better at preventing a sore throat after surgery. If you are having a planned surgery under general anesthesia, this study may help find a way to reduce throat pain afterwards.
This study tests whether giving ketamine before or during surgery can reduce pain afterward. It is designed for adults with higher body weight who also have certain health conditions like well-controlled diabetes or blood pressure.
This study tests whether giving ketamine during heart surgery can help prevent long-term pain. It may help patients who are having planned, non-emergency open-heart surgery.
This trial tests two inhaled medicines given before surgery to see which one works better for pain after nasal surgery. One medicine is ketamine and the other is dexmedetomidine, both given as a mist through a nebulizer.
This study tests if a low-dose anesthetic called S-ketamine can safely help patients over 65 recover better after scheduled chest, belly, or bone surgery. It aims to find a gentler option for older adults.
