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 trial compares two types of anesthesia (lighter sedation vs. deeper sleep) during a procedure called pulsed field ablation, which treats irregular heartbeats. The study aims to determine which anesthesia approach works best and is safest for patients like you.
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 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 trial tests a newer, gentler ablation technique (pulsed field ablation) to treat atrial fibrillation by creating a targeted scar in a specific heart area. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for people whose heart rhythm is irregular.
This trial tests a better way to perform a procedure called pulse field ablation for people with atrial fibrillation (AF). It aims to make the treatment smoother and safer.
This trial tests a new procedure called pulsed field ablation to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (long-lasting irregular heartbeat). It compares different ways of using the procedure and may be an option if heart rhythm medicines haven't worked for you.
