Comparing Two Anesthesia Drugs for Bypass Surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two common anesthesia medicines (etomidate and propofol) for patients having planned coronary artery bypass surgery. The goal is to see which medication works better for your heart and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for elective (not emergency) coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
- Your overall health status (ASA score) is I through IV (most patients having planned surgery qualify).
- You can speak and read either English or Spanish.
- You do not have a known adrenal gland problem (adrenal insufficiency).
- You are not currently in shock and have not used steroid medications in the last 6 months.
- You have no allergy to etomidate or propofol and no history of seizures.
