Effects of Anesthesia on Heart and Blood Pressure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how different anesthesia medicines affect your heart and blood pressure during open abdominal surgery. It may help doctors choose safer anesthesia for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for open abdominal surgery at the Essen-Mitte hospital in Germany.
- Your surgery will need an arterial line (a tube in your wrist artery) and a central venous line (a tube in a large vein near your chest or neck).
- You are 18 years or older and can understand and speak German well enough to give consent.
- You are willing to sign a consent form allowing your data to be stored and shared anonymously for research.
- You do not have serious heart or kidney problems, such as heart failure, unstable chest pain, severe valve disease, or kidney failure requiring dialysis.
- Your overall health is good enough that you are not considered a very high-risk surgery patient (ASA physical status 3 or less).

This trial is looking at how different anesthesia, perfusion, and surgery methods affect people having heart surgery. It aims to improve care for heart surgery patients by studying current practices.
This study looks at whether anesthesia can cause heart damage during non-cardiac surgeries. If you have certain health risks, participating may help doctors learn how to better protect your heart.
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 study looks at how blood pressure medications affect low blood pressure episodes that happen during and after heart surgery. Researchers want to understand if the number of blood pressure drugs you take before surgery changes how your body handles blood pressure during the operation.
This study looks at whether people who have low blood pressure after eating are also more likely to have low blood pressure after starting general anesthesia. It may help doctors better predict and manage blood pressure drops during non-heart surgeries in older adults.
This study compares two types of anaesthesia for people with a weakened heart (ejection fraction between 35-40%) who need planned lower-limb surgery. It looks at how each method affects blood pressure and heart function during and after the procedure.
