memsorb Trial Summary

This trialshows the drawbacks of chemical CO2 absorbers: they create harmful compounds, increasing cost and environmental impact, & require daily disposal of special waste. Sustainable management of anesthesia is a growing concern.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking patients with a low to medium risk status (Class I, II, III) according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists. It's not suitable for pregnant individuals, high-risk patients (Class IV), those needing emergency surgery, or people with elevated brain pressure or severe respiratory diseases like COPD and asthma.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing 'memsorb', an innovative method aimed at removing CO2 from anesthetic circuits without using chemical granulate. This could potentially reduce harmful compounds, costs, environmental impact and the need for daily disposal of special waste.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this summary does not provide specific side effects related to 'memsorb', it can be assumed that potential risks may be similar to those associated with standard anesthesia practices unless otherwise specified in detailed trial documents.
