• See if hypotension during anesthesia induction relates to tissue oxygen in open-heart surgery

  This study tests whether post-induction hypotension in open-heart surgery patients can be predicted using arterial and tissue oxygenation measures.

  Recruiting Haseki Training and Research Hospital · Istanbul, Sultangazi · NCT07831252

• Box breathing before chest tube removal after open-heart surgery

  This trial tests whether performing a 5-minute box breathing session before chest tube removal reduces pain, anxiety, and breathlessness in adults who had open-heart surgery.

• IV pain medicine, thoracic epidural, and erector spinae plane block for long-term pain after open-heart surgery

  This study will compare three common pain-control approaches—IV pain medicines, thoracic epidural, and erector spinae plane block—to see if one lowers chronic pain three months after open-heart surgery.

  Recruiting Karadeniz Technical University · Trabzon, Trabzon · NCT07257744

• Low-Flow Anesthesia in Open-Heart Surgery

  This study tests whether different fresh gas flow rates during open-heart surgery with low-flow anesthesia affect patient hemodynamics.
