Depth of Anesthesia on Postoperative Delirium and Cognitive After Surgery
The goal of this clinical trial (Balanced-2 study) is to compare light to deep general anesthesia using widely available brain monitors, to see if 'light' anesthesia could reduce rates of delirium, cognitive decline, and disability in older adults undergoing major surgery. Delirium is the most common serious surgical complication, occurring …
Trajectories of Recovery After Intravenous Propofol Versus Inhaled VolatilE Anesthesia Trial
The investigators will conduct a 12,500-patient randomized multi-center trial to determine (i) which general anesthesia technique yields superior patient recovery experiences in any of three surgical categories ((a) major inpatient surgery, (b) minor inpatient surgery, (c) outpatient surgery) and (ii) whether TIVA confers no more than a small (0.2 %) …
Perioperative Respiratory Care and Outcomes for Patients Undergoing High Risk Abdominal Surgery
PENGUIN is a pragmatic multi-center trial investigating the effects of pre-operative mouthwash and perioperative oxygen on the incidences of pneumonia and surgical site infection (SSI) following major abdominal surgery. Patients will be recruited from low and middle income countries and randomly assigned to a trial treatment arms: a) pre-operative chlorhexidine …
Evaluating a Strategy to Improve Pre-Anesthesia Care Discussions (My Anesthesia Choice-Hip Fracture)
The objective of this study is to assess the implementation process for and the effectiveness of a quality improvement (QI) strategy to increase shared decision-making around anesthesia options for hip fracture surgery at 6 US hospitals. The QI strategy is to be facilitated by a clinician-administered 1-page bedside conversation aid …
Desflurane vs. Propofol for Cardiac Anesthesia
To investigate whether the inhaled anesthetic desflurane, compared with propofol, exerts cardioprotective effects and reduces the incidence of severe postoperative major cardiac events in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Total Intravenous Anesthesia and Recurrence Free Survival
The investigators propose to compare recurrence-free survival in patients having potentially curative (Stages 1-3) surgery for esophageal cancer who will be randomly assigned to propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia or sevoflurane-based balanced general anesthesia.
Inadequate Analgesia During Cesarean Section Under Spinal Anesthesia
Inadequate analgesia during cesarean section is a common condition, notably addressed by national recommendations from the SFAR (French Society of Anesthesia and Intensive Care) in 2021. The objective of this study is to identify the specific characteristics of this condition in Strasbourg in terms of risk factors and management, and …
Laryngopharyngeal Injury After Endotracheal Intubation Under General Anesthesia
This study retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent tracheal intubation under general anesthesia at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine between October 1, 2015, and September 30, 2025, with a focus on issues related to postoperativelaryngopharyngeal complaints. Patients requiring otolaryngological consultation due to postoperative laryngopharyngeal complaints were …
Cardiovascular Protection Conservative Effects of Esketamine Versus µ-opioid Receptor Agonists in General Anesthesia
Pain is 'a double-edged sword', disturbing daily life of the sufferers and activating the intrinsic protective mechanisms. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), play such role as 'a double agent', transmitting the pain signals and initiating the cardio-protective mechanism via release protective neuropeptides. Surgery-related pain is mostly so severe and …
Association Between Preoperative Metformin Exposure and Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in Patients Undergoing General Anesthesia
The aim of this observational study is to investigate the potential effects of metformin on postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. The primary research question is: Does preoperative metformin exposure influence the incidence or severity of PONV in patients undergoing general anesthesia? Patients who …
