Comparison of two anesthesia methods for weight-loss surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia to see which one helps people recover better after weight-loss (gastric bypass) surgery. If you are having this surgery, the study may help you wake up and recover more smoothly.
