Propofol infusion for nausea after heart bypass surgery
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a continuous infusion of propofol (a common anesthesia medicine) during and after heart bypass surgery can reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting. If you are having planned bypass surgery and meet basic health criteria, this trial may help find a better way to feel more comfortable after your operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older

This trial tests a combination of anti-nausea medicines given before, during, and after surgery to reduce nausea and vomiting. It is for people having flap surgery to treat head and neck cancer.
This study tests whether giving morphine during coronary artery bypass surgery can help control pain after the operation. It is for people having planned heart bypass surgery who are moderately sick and not already on strong pain medicines.
This study tests a pain-relief method for people having planned (elective) heart bypass surgery. After surgery, a thin tube is placed near the nerves between the ribs to numb the area, which may reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers.
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.
This trial tests a new way of giving the anesthetic propofol to keep your blood pressure more stable during surgery. It may help reduce side effects like dizziness or fainting after the procedure.
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.
