Description
Yuling Yang and seven colleagues asked if a paired drug plan for sleep during surgery calms the stress response in older patients. The surgery removed part of the food pipe to treat cancer, a major operation. The team looked back at records from 2023 to 2025 at one centre and matched three drug plans in groups of 100 patients each.
The paired plan, using both drugs, showed the smallest rise in the stress hormone cortisol by day three. Pain scores in the first day were also lower than with one drug alone. Scores for thinking decline were a bit lower too, but that gap was not firm. The authors want a larger trial before firm claims.
