This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether ketamine combined with works as well as ketamine combined with fentanyl during anesthesia for heart bypass surgery. The study focuses on patients with weakened heart function who need coronary artery bypass surgery. Researchers will monitor brain oxygen levels during surgery to see which medication combination keeps the brain safer.
Patients with severely weakened hearts are at higher risk of brain complications during surgery. This trial exists to find the safest anesthesia approach for these vulnerable patients by comparing how two different medication combinations affect blood flow to the brain.

You would receive your scheduled heart bypass surgery, but with specialized monitoring during anesthesia. Before surgery, baseline measurements of your heart rate, blood pressure, and brain oxygen levels would be recorded. During surgery, you would randomly receive one of the two medication combinations for anesthesia induction, while researchers continuously monitor your brain oxygen levels using special sensors on your forehead to ensure your brain is receiving adequate blood flow throughout the procedure.
