Faster recovery program for heart surgery patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special 'enhanced recovery' program before and after heart surgery helps patients recover faster and with fewer complications. If you are scheduled for on-pump heart surgery, this program may help you get back on your feet sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine (on-pump).
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is 50% or higher.
- Your kidney function is not severely reduced (your doctor can check this).
- You have not had heart surgery before.
- You do not have severe pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs).

This study tests whether a home-based prehab program (exercises and education via video visits) can help heart surgery patients get stronger before surgery and reduce complications. If you qualify, you'll have regular video check-ins during your waiting period.
This study tests whether a special program of early exercises and breathing activities helps people recover faster after heart surgery. You would be assigned to either the exercise program or standard care, and the study will track how well your heart and body function after surgery.
This study is for people who are getting ready for heart surgery and want to follow a program that helps them prepare and recover. It tests a seamless approach from before surgery through rehabilitation, focusing on exercise and support.
This study tests whether it is safe and beneficial to wake patients up from anesthesia right after heart surgery, while they are still in the operating room, instead of the usual practice of keeping them sedated and on a breathing machine in the ICU. The goal is to see if this approach can lead to faster recovery and fewer complications.
This study tests a faster-acting anesthesia method for minimally invasive heart valve surgery to help patients wake up sooner and recover more quickly. If you need heart valve surgery and are generally healthy enough, you may qualify to participate.
This trial compares a faster recovery program (ERAS) with standard care after minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. If you join, you may recover more quickly and go home sooner.
