Study of blood and lab markers around major surgeries
This study checks blood and other lab “biomarkers” during the time before and after major surgeries to see if they can help guide perioperative care. You might be eligible if you are having certain planned heart, lung, GI, or blood-vessel surgeries and can give informed consent.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having planned major surgery: heart, lung, gastrointestinal, or blood-vessel surgery
- Examples include bypass heart surgery, valve surgery, colorectal/pancreatic/gastric surgery
- It also includes specific lung surgeries (like lobectomy or pneumonectomy) or aortic/peripheral vessel procedures
- You are age 18 or older
- You can give informed consent (or your legal representative can)

This study looks at how inflammation and brain-related substances in the blood after surgery are linked to confusion (delirium) in older adults. It aims to find early warning signs to prevent this common complication.
This study is looking at whether certain blood tests can help predict the risk of death after surgery in ICU patients. If you have had surgery and are now in the ICU, your blood samples may help doctors learn more.
This study follows people after planned, higher-risk surgery to learn what complications happen and how patients do long-term. It may help doctors predict risks and improve care for people having similar operations.
This study follows people after major surgery to see what predicts heart and blood vessel problems later. It does not test a new drug; it mainly collects health information to help clinicians reduce risk.
This study looks at colorectal cancer patients who are planning curative surgery and collects related outcomes and lab “biomarker” information to better understand the disease. Your participation may help researchers connect test results to treatment results over time.
This study looks at different body markers (like genes, proteins, and voice patterns) to predict problems after heart surgery. If you are having planned heart surgery, you may be able to join and help doctors learn how to better prevent complications.
