Low-flow anesthesia study for open-heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a low-flow anesthesia method during open-heart surgery to see if it works well and safely. It may help patients by using less medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for open-heart surgery
- You are in good enough health (ASA class I, II, III, or IV)
- You have not had open-heart surgery before
- You are not an emergency case
- You can safely receive inhaled anesthesia drugs

This trial tests whether a device that measures skin blood flow can help monitor children safely during low-flow anesthesia. It is for children aged 2–12 having non-emergency surgery lasting 1–6 hours.
This study looks at how blood flow in your fingers relates to low blood pressure during knee surgery. It may help doctors better manage anesthesia for future patients.
This trial studies a “closed-loop” anesthesia delivery system that automatically adjusts anesthesia during surgery. It may help by making anesthesia more consistent and safer while you’re undergoing planned non-heart surgery.
This study compares two types of anesthesia gas flow (low-flow vs normal-flow) to see how it affects certain markers in your blood. Researchers want to understand which method might be better for your body during surgery.
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.
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.
