What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
desflurane (inhaled anesthetic)
What this could lead to
If desflurane works better than propofol, it could become the preferred anesthetic for heart bypass surgery to lower the risk of serious heart complications after the operation.
What could go wrong
This is a large phase 3 trial, but it's still possible that desflurane offers no advantage over propofol. The study focuses on short-term outcomes (30 days), so long-term benefits are unknown.
Conditions
