New anesthesia strategy aims to protect the brain during heart surgery

NCT ID NCT05279898

Summary

This study tested a specific anesthesia plan for patients aged 60+ undergoing heart surgery. Researchers compared a guided approach using brain wave monitoring to standard care. The goal was to see if the new plan could reduce post-surgery confusion, improve pain control with less opioid medication, and lower markers of brain stress.
