Sustainable anesthesia for coronary artery bypass grafting

Official title: Sustainable Anesthesia in Myocardial Revascularization Surgery: a Non-randomized Interventional Study

Run by Universidad de La Frontera · NCT07508865 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will test whether an 'optimized recovery' anesthesia approach for adults having elective coronary artery bypass grafting produces better environmental, clinical, and cost outcomes than standard anesthesia.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) with coronary artery disease scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery at Hospital Hernán Henríquez Aravena who can give informed consent are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

Patients undergoing combined procedures, reoperations, emergent surgeries, or those unable to consent are excluded and would not be expected to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies

This non-randomized comparison will enroll adults scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass grafting at Hospital Hernán Henríquez Aravena in Temuco and compare an optimized recovery anesthetic technique to standard anesthetic practice. Investigators will use life-cycle assessment (LCA) methods to quantify environmental impacts (including CO2e) and will collect clinical metrics such as complications, time to extubation, and ICU length of stay. Economic data will be gathered to perform cost-effectiveness analyses across the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, clinical, and economic. Combined procedures and reoperations are excluded and participants must be competent adults able to consent.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could reduce operating-room greenhouse gas emissions while shortening ICU stays and lowering overall costs for elective CABG patients.

How similar studies have gone: Enhanced recovery techniques in cardiac surgery have shown improvements in extubation times and length of stay, while applying life-cycle assessment to perioperative care for sustainability is a newer, less-tested approach.
