Sedative medications for middle ear surgery anesthesia
This study compares how your heart rate and blood pressure respond during anesthesia when you are given different sedative medications. It aims to find approaches that make intubation (the tube placed in your airway) safer and more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You are scheduled for middle ear surgery under general anesthesia.
- You are in generally good health (ASA I or II), meaning you have no severe medical conditions.
- You are not allergic to ketamine, dexmedetomidine, or propofol.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have a history of liver, kidney, or heart disease.
- You are not a chronic opioid user and have no psychiatric disorders.

This study tests two medicines given before surgery to see which one better controls blood pressure and heart rate during the start of anesthesia. It may help people with high blood pressure have a safer and smoother experience when they are put to sleep for surgery.
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.
This study compares two medications, dexmedetomidine and lignocaine, to see which one better keeps your heart rate and blood pressure stable when the breathing tube is removed after surgery. It aims to find a safe and effective option, especially in settings with limited resources.
This study tests whether adding a sedative medicine to the numbing shot around the ear nerve can improve pain control during and after middle ear surgery. It aims to make the procedure more comfortable and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
This trial tests whether dexmedetomidine or lignocaine better prevents dangerous heart-rate and blood-pressure changes when a breathing tube is placed during heart surgery. If you're having cardiac surgery and are at high risk for heart complications, this study may help protect your heart during the procedure.
This trial studies whether the anesthesia medicines ketamine and dexmedetomidine can improve care during elective lung (video-assisted) surgery. It may help with comfort during and after the operation, depending on how these medicines affect pain and recovery.
