Simplified sedation protocol for heart rhythm ablation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need atrial fibrillation (AFib) and are scheduled for elective pulsed-field ablation
- Your heart function must be adequate (ejection fraction ≥40%, no severe heart failure)
- You cannot have untreated or treated sleep apnea
- Your weight must be proportional to height (BMI ≤35 kg/m²)
- You cannot have chronic lung disease or low baseline oxygen levels (<95%)
- You must be cognitively able to understand and consent to the study

This study compares two types of sedation for people having a catheter procedure to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It helps find which approach works better for comfort and safety.
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.
This study tests a new way to do a heart procedure (catheter ablation) for people with ongoing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It uses pulsed-field energy to create a block in the heart that stops abnormal electrical signals. The goal is to improve the procedure's success and reduce risks.
This trial tests a newer ablation technique called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder. The goal is to see if this method works well and is safe for patients who need treatment.
This study tests a newer, gentler way to fix irregular heartbeats in people with paroxysmal AF. The treatment uses special energy (pulsed fields) guided by 3D imaging to target the heart tissue causing the problem, and the goal is to restore a normal rhythm with fewer risks.
This trial tests a new type of heart procedure called pulsed field ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a long-lasting irregular heartbeat). It compares three different ways to use this ablation to try to restore a normal heart rhythm and reduce symptoms.
