Targeted oxygen monitoring during children’s heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a goal-focused monitoring approach can help optimize oxygen levels in the blood during children’s heart surgery using a heart-lung machine. It may help clinicians adjust care more precisely during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is scheduled for planned (elective) heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass).
- A parent/guardian can give written consent for the study.
- The surgery is not an emergency.
- Your child does not have a serious abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia).
- Your child is not too unstable right now (no high blood-pressure support medicine such as norepinephrine above 1 mcg/kg/min).
- Your child is not currently in another research study and does not have certain conditions like cancer (neoplasia) or prior heart transplant.

This study is testing a new way to manage blood flow after heart surgery in children with congenital heart disease. The goal is to make sure the body gets the right amount of oxygen to help recovery.
This study uses a non-invasive light-based technique to monitor oxygen levels in the heart muscle during open-heart surgery in children. It aims to see if this method can help doctors better manage the surgery and improve outcomes.
This study tests a new non-invasive way to monitor how well oxygen is being delivered to your body during and after heart surgery. Researchers will compare this new monitoring method with standard devices that are already being used during your surgery.
This trial studies whether giving higher or lower oxygen during general anesthesia changes heart and lung outcomes after planned (non-emergency) non-heart surgery. It may help doctors choose safer oxygen settings during surgery for people at higher risk for heart problems.
This study compares how much oxygen is needed and how well oxygen levels stay in a safe range after heart surgery in the ICU. It also tests whether using different oxygen monitors affects oxygen flow and oxygenation.
This study tests a special light sensor that measures blood flow to the heart and other organs during complex heart surgery. It may help doctors better understand and manage blood flow in children at risk for complications.
