NCT ID NCT06476613

First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This pilot study tests whether allowing slightly lower blood pressure after heart surgery (permissive hypotension) is safe and can reduce the need for blood-pressure-raising drugs and shorten ICU stays. Researchers will compare this approach to usual care in 80 adults having elective heart surgery. The goal is to gather data for a larger future study.
