Core Tip

Core Tip: Ciprofol is a novel agent for intravenous general anesthesia. It is characterized by fast onset, fast elimination, stable circulation, and few adverse reactions. This is the first case report of ciprofol administration for anesthesia in cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Based on our experience in this case, we conclude that ciprofol is safe and effective for anesthesia in cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. With further testing, ciprofol may replace propofol in the field of anesthesia for cardiac surgeries.
