Heart function and anesthesia depth during heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks how well the heart works and how deep the anesthesia is during planned heart surgery where a heart-lung machine is used. It aims to improve safety and outcomes for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be scheduled for a planned (non-emergency) heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine.
- You must be able to have an ultrasound of the heart done through your chest.
- You must be willing and able to sign a consent form.

This study checks how heart function and blood flow change in adults while they receive general anesthesia for surgery. It may help doctors better understand what happens to the heart during anesthesia and adjust care for safety.
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.
This trial studies whether tailoring anesthesia and monitoring the brain’s blood-flow control during heart surgery can improve neurological outcomes (brain-related function and recovery). It may help by guiding anesthesia in a more individualized way and checking how well the brain is protected during the operation.
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 study observes how different levels of breathing support during heart surgery affect your heart's function. Researchers will use ultrasound and monitoring tools already planned for your surgery to see how small changes in breathing pressure impact your heart's performance.
This study looks at how blood pressure changes during the start of open heart surgery and whether it affects oxygen levels in body tissues. It may help doctors better manage blood pressure during surgery to keep patients safe.
