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 pressure changes during the start of open heart surgery and whether it affects oxygen levels in body tissues. It may help doctors better manage blood pressure during surgery to keep patients safe.
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 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.
