Heart surgery patients: could a simple anesthesia change prevent Post-Op sickness?
NCT ID NCT07386379
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will observe 60 adults having heart bypass surgery to see if a higher dose of the anesthetic propofol reduces nausea and vomiting after the operation. Researchers will compare patients who get high-dose propofol to those who get a low dose. Participants will be checked for nausea and vomiting at several points during the first 24 hours after surgery.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population will consist of adult patients (≥18 years) classified as ASA III who are scheduled to undergo elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Cardiology Institute between November 2025 and March 2026. Patients with recent gastrointestinal or central nervous system disorders, cochlear conditions that may induce nausea or vomiting, chronic opioid use, severe hepatic or renal disease, alcohol or substance abuse, left ventricular ejection fraction \<40%, prolonged postoperative mechanical ventilation (\>12 hours), or postoperative morphine use in the ICU will be excluded. Additional exclusion criteria include combined cardiac procedures (e.g., valve surgery), off-pump CABG, emergency surgery, reoperation due to complications, and refusal to participate.
