Sedation and Analgesia Using PFK Versus General Anesthesia in Urological Procedures

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2020-02-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Anesthesia in urological surgeries might constitute a great challenge to anesthesiologists. Especially that a great proportion of these patients are elderly with a lot of comorbidities. This put these patients at the risk of developing medical adverse events after being anesthetized by general anesthesia. The aim of this study is to compare between intravenous sedation with analgesia versus general anesthesia in patients undergoing urological surgical procedures.
