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.
