Anesthesia and surgery practices in heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be having heart surgery at a participating medical center.
- You cannot have had a procedure where a catheter is used to fix heart problems without open surgery (such as TAVR or stent placement).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study collects heart and brain signal information before and during anesthesia for people having cardiovascular surgery or procedures. The goal is to better understand risk and outcomes, and to improve how anesthesia is assessed.
This trial studies a sustainable anesthesia approach for people having planned coronary artery bypass graft surgery (a type of open-heart surgery to improve blood flow to the heart). It aims to see if this method is safe and effective for patients at the study hospital.
This study tests whether it is safe and beneficial to wake patients up from anesthesia right after heart surgery, while they are still in the operating room, instead of the usual practice of keeping them sedated and on a breathing machine in the ICU. The goal is to see if this approach can lead to faster recovery and fewer complications.
This study collects information from people having heart surgery to help predict and improve kidney health after the operation. It uses special monitoring data to see if we can better understand and prevent kidney problems.
This trial studies whether giving higher or lower oxygen during general anesthesia changes heart and lung outcomes after planned (non-emergency) non-heart surgery. It may help doctors choose safer oxygen settings during surgery for people at higher risk for heart problems.
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.
