This study is comparing two common anesthesia medications, etomidate and propofol, for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Researchers want to see if one medication is better than the other in terms of how much other support medications, called vasopressors (which help control blood pressure), are needed during and after surgery. You may be able to join if you are between 18 and 90 years old, are scheduled for elective CABG surgery, and can speak and read English or Spanish. The study is looking for 300 participants and is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design

This is a single-blinded randomized controlled study, meaning you won't know which anesthesia you receive, but the researchers will. It aims to enroll 300 participants.

What's involved

Not specified in the trial record.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Researchers will measure vasopressor doses at 30 minutes after anesthesia, during the last 30 minutes of the post-bypass period, and for the first 24 hours after your procedure.
