Ciprofol infusion for anesthesia in thoracoscopic lobectomy

Effect of Ciprofol Infusion for Induction and Maintenance on Hemodynamics and Postoperative Recovery in Patients Undergoing Thoracoscopic Lobectomy : a Randomized, Controlled Trial

Phase 4 Interventional Qianfoshan Hospital · NCT05664386

This study is testing whether a new anesthesia drug called ciprofol can help people aged 18 to 65 have better blood pressure and heart rate control, as well as a smoother recovery, during and after thoracoscopic lung surgery compared to the usual drug, propofol.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effects of ciprofol infusion compared to propofol on hemodynamics and postoperative recovery in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy. Patients aged 18 to 65 are randomly assigned to receive either ciprofol or propofol during anesthesia induction and maintenance. The study measures fluctuations in hemodynamic parameters such as blood pressure and heart rate throughout the procedure. The goal is to determine if ciprofol provides better stability and recovery outcomes than traditional anesthetics.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-65 with a BMI of 20-30 scheduled for thoracoscopic lobectomy under general anesthesia.

Not a fit: Patients with airway difficulties, allergies to study drugs, or those with mental health issues may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved hemodynamic stability and faster recovery for patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar anesthetic approaches, but the specific use of ciprofol in this context is relatively novel.
