Xenon as an Adjuvant to Propofol Anaesthesia in Patients Undergoing Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery.

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Anesthesia
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01948765
Lead Sponsor
Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven
Brief Summary

The investigators hypothesize that the application of 30% xenon as an adjuvant to general anesthesia with a target-controlled infusion of propofol is superior to general anesthesia with propofol alone with respect to hemodynamic stability.
