ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new method called the Wash In/Wash Out procedure to help prevent agitation in patients recovering from inhalational anesthesia, specifically with a gas called sevoflurane. Agitation can happen after surgery and may lead to longer recovery times and other complications, so finding ways to reduce it is important. The goal of this trial is to see if this new technique can lower the chances of experiencing agitation during recovery from surgery.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be at least 18 years old, scheduled for open abdominal surgery under general anesthesia, and able to provide written consent. Unfortunately, patients who are pregnant, have certain mental health conditions, or are taking specific medications will not be able to participate. Those who join the study can expect to be monitored closely during their recovery, and their experiences will help researchers understand if this new procedure can improve recovery outcomes for future patients.
