Comparing two anesthetics for heart bypass surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (desflurane gas vs. propofol IV) during coronary artery bypass surgery to see which one is better for your heart. It might help patients who are having planned bypass surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be scheduled for non-emergency coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG).
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must agree to join the trial and sign a consent form.
- You cannot have had a heart attack in the last 30 days.
- You cannot have serious heart failure or need a heart pump or breathing machine before surgery.

This trial compares the anesthesia medicines remimazolam and propofol during major surgery to see how patients do afterward. It may help guide which anesthetic is safer or leads to better recovery in higher-risk patients.
This study compares two commonly used anesthesia medications (propofol and sevoflurane) in patients having a procedure to treat irregular heartbeats. Researchers want to see which drug works better and is safer for keeping you asleep during the procedure.
This study compares two types of anesthesia to see which one helps people recover better after weight-loss (gastric bypass) surgery. If you are having this surgery, the study may help you wake up and recover more smoothly.
This study compares two sedatives (remimazolam and propofol) given to people after coronary bypass surgery to see which one better keeps blood pressure stable while they are on a breathing tube in the intensive care unit.
This study compares two ways of managing blood pressure during heart bypass surgery to see which is better for patient outcomes. The goal is to help doctors choose the right blood pressure targets during surgery.
