Monitoring heart function and blood flow during general anesthesia
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks how heart function and blood flow change in adults while they receive general anesthesia for surgery. It may help doctors better understand what happens to the heart during anesthesia and adjust care for safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and scheduled for surgery needing general anesthesia
- Your surgery will require a breathing tube (intubation)
- You expect to have about 20 minutes from the start of preparation until the incision
- Your usual blood pressure at the start is MAP over 70 mmHg (their baseline measure)
- You have no history of coronary artery disease

This study looks at how blood pressure medicines affect blood flow to the brain during general anesthesia for planned surgery. It may help doctors understand how to better manage care during operations.
This trial tests whether using a heart ultrasound before surgery can help doctors better manage your blood volume. If you are having surgery under general anesthesia and have a higher risk of heart problems, this study may help improve your safety.
This study looks at how anesthesia, heart-lung machine use, and surgical methods are handled during heart surgery. It may help improve care for people having heart surgery.
This study checks how well the heart works and how deep the anesthesia is during planned heart surgery where a heart-lung machine is used. It aims to improve safety and outcomes for patients.
This study checks if a simple ultrasound test of the heart can predict whether your blood pressure will drop when you go under general anesthesia. If your blood pressure is likely to drop, your care team can be ready to manage it, making your anesthesia safer.
This study looks at how a type of anesthesia called thoracic epidural, which numbs the chest area, affects the heart's ability to pump well during surgery. It uses a special ultrasound test called strain echocardiography to check heart function. If you're having non-emergency surgery and are generally healthy, this study might help doctors understand better ways to keep your heart safe.
