U.S., Nov. 26 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07248202) titled 'Ketamine-lidocaine Versus Ketamine-fentanyl for Induction of Anesthesia in Patients With Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction Undergoing Elective Coronary Artery Bypass' on Nov. 18.
Brief Summary: There is no consensus on the ideal induction technique for patients with coronary artery disease and left heart dysfunction. Induction for cardiac surgery focuses on maintaining hemodynamic stability, optimizing myocardial oxygen balance, and minimizing the intubation stress response. Ketamine provides stable hemodynamics in patients with impaired ventricular function, though combining it with opioids to blunt the intubation response may ...
