Low-Flow Anesthesia in Open-Heart Surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study examines open-heart surgery patients to see if varying fresh gas flow rates in low-flow anesthesia lead to differences in hemodynamic outcomes. Adults undergoing open-heart procedures are eligible, with a broad ASA class range. No interventions are assigned by the researchers; data are collected from standard clinical care to compare outcomes across different gas flow levels. The study is conducted at Gazi University Faculty of Medicine in Ankara, led by Çağrı Özdemir, with no listed collaborators. Results may inform how gas flow choices impact cardiovascular stability during surgery.
