A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effects of combining Dexmedetomidine infusion with paragastric autonomic neural block on postoperative recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The study aims to determine if this combination can enhance recovery quality, reduce opioid consumption, facilitate earlier mobilization, and decrease nausea and vomiting post-surgery. Researchers will evaluate recovery quality using the QoR 40 questionnaire, monitor hemodynamic parameters, and record opioid use and mobilization times. The trial is designed to provide insights into improving postoperative outcomes for patients undergoing this procedure.
