Chilling discovery: hypothermia may skew brain monitors during bypass
NCT ID NCT07508579
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This observational study looks at how lowering body temperature during heart-lung bypass surgery affects two common brain monitors (BIS and PSI). Researchers will track 60 adults undergoing planned coronary bypass surgery. The goal is to see if the monitors' readings change differently when the body is cooled, which could help doctors better gauge anesthesia depth.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors better interpret brain activity monitors during heart surgeries involving cooling.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study, not testing a treatment. Results may not apply to all patients or surgeries.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Adult patients undergoing elective on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass at a single tertiary care center will be included. All participants will receive standard general anesthesia and perioperative management according to institutional protocols. Patients will be monitored intraoperatively with both Bispectral Index (BIS) and Patient State Index (PSI) devices, and data will be collected at predefined time points during normothermic, hypothermic, and rewarming phases of cardiopulmonary bypass.
