Evaluating anesthesia techniques for reducing inflammation in bariatric surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates how different anesthesia methods impact inflammation in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either opioid-free anesthesia, intravenous anesthesia with opioids, or inhalational anesthesia with opioids. Blood samples will be taken to measure inflammation-related substances and heart rate variability will be monitored to assess the body's stress response. The goal is to identify anesthesia strategies that may enhance recovery by modulating inflammation.
