Summary

This study compares two anesthesia approaches for heart surgery: Fast Track (waking up within 6 hours) and Ultra Fast Track (waking up right in the operating room). The goal is to see which method leads to fewer lung problems, less pain, and a shorter hospital stay. About 50 adults having certain types of heart surgery will take part.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Fast Track Cardiac Anesthesia (FTCA) and Ultra Fast Track Cardiac Anesthesia (UFTCA) procedures
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that waking up from anesthesia right after heart surgery is safer and leads to a shorter hospital stay.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. There is also a risk of complications from early extubation.
