This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial studied how two different anesthesia combinations affected blood flow to the brain during heart bypass surgery in patients with weakened hearts. Researchers compared ketamine paired with versus ketamine paired with fentanyl as the medications used to put patients to sleep before surgery. The trial used special monitoring equipment to track brain oxygen levels throughout the procedure.
Patients with weakened hearts are at higher risk of complications during surgery, including reduced blood flow to the brain. This trial investigated whether one anesthesia combination might protect brain blood flow better than the other in this vulnerable group.
Participants were randomly assigned to receive one of two anesthesia medication combinations during their bypass surgery. Before surgery began, doctors measured baseline brain oxygen levels using non-invasive monitoring equipment placed on the scalp. During the surgery, anesthesia was given as clinically needed, and brain oxygen levels were continuously tracked to compare how each medication combination affected blood flow to the brain.
