View clinical trials related to Inhalation Anesthesia.
Filter by:Sevoflurane is a volatile agent easy to control thanks to the Minimum Alveolar Concentration (MAC) allowing its titration for an optimal depth of anesthesia. Growing biomedical evidence also highlight its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects protecting against ischemia-reperfusion injury in cardiac surgery and, potentially, in organ transplant. The estimated annual contribution of inhalational anesthetic agents represents about 0.01% of global CO2 production. Alternatives such as total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) avoid direct greenhouse emission, but their indirect carbon footprint remains a major problem. For all these reasons, this research aim to find a way to maintain the use of sevoflurane for its clinical benefits while reducing its consumption to limit the environmental consequences. The use of dexmedetomidine could help anesthesiologists to achieve this greener sevoflurane anesthesia. Dexmedetomidine is a potent, highly selective α-2 adrenergic receptor agonist described as a unique sedative with analgesic and sympatholytic properties. This new randomized controlled trial (RCT) will answer the question whether a single bolus of dexmedetomidine (0.6 mcg.kg-1 on 10 minutes during induction) compared to placebo has a clinically significant impact on sevoflurane consumption during laparoscopic elective surgery.
aim of this cross-over study is to compare sedation with insufflated sevoflurane and intravenous sedation for pediatric radiotherapy patients
The first goal of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety between anxiolysis by multimedia-distraction with an IPAD versus anxiolysis by premedication with midazolam prior to the induction. Secondly to evaluate the need for midazolam-premedication in pediatric day-care patients induced by inhalational anesthesia.
