Monitoring Brain Activity During Heart Rhythm Treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of giving sedation (sleepy medicine) during a procedure to restore normal heart rhythm in people with atrial fibrillation. One method uses a special brain monitor to guide sedation doses, while the other uses standard clinical judgment. The goal is to see if the brain monitor helps keep you safer and more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) and need an elective electrical cardioversion (shock treatment to restore normal rhythm)
- Your heart function is adequate (left ventricular ejection fraction ≥30%)
- You have received proper blood-thinning medication or have no clot risk in your heart
- You can safely receive propofol and fentanyl (common sedation medicines) without allergies
- You are in stable condition without severe heart, lung, liver, or kidney problems

This trial compares deep sedation with usual care during catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, a procedure to correct irregular heartbeats. It aims to see if deeper sedation improves comfort and safety during the procedure.
This trial tests a streamlined sedation approach during pulsed-field ablation, a newer technique to treat irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation). Researchers want to confirm it's safe and practical.
This study compares two types of sedation (midazolam given by a heart doctor versus propofol given by an anesthesia specialist) during a procedure to restore a normal heart rhythm in people with atrial fibrillation or flutter. It aims to find which approach is safer and more comfortable for patients.
This trial compares two ways of keeping you comfortable during a pulsed-field ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation: conscious sedation (you're awake but relaxed) versus general anesthesia (you're fully asleep). The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective for patients like you.
This trial compares two sedative medicines (remimazolam and propofol) given during heart ablation procedures. The study uses brain-wave monitoring to see which medicine provides better sedation and recovery. It's for people who are already scheduled for this procedure with a specific doctor.
This trial tests a mild sedation method using remimazolam and fentanyl during a procedure called pulsed-field ablation for atrial fibrillation (afib). It aims to find a safe and effective way to keep you comfortable without deep sedation.
