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 examines a minimally invasive way to monitor your heart's blood pressure and function during a cardiac ablation procedure—a treatment that corrects irregular heartbeats. The goal is to better understand how this monitoring technique works and helps doctors manage your care during the procedure.
This study looks at how epidural anesthesia (numbing medicine injected near your spine) affects your heart's pumping function during surgery. Researchers will use a special heart ultrasound to check this, which may help make surgery safer in the future.
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 collects heart and brain signal information before and during anesthesia for people having cardiovascular surgery or procedures. The goal is to better understand risk and outcomes, and to improve how anesthesia is assessed.
