Heart surgery patients: link oxygen levels to lung ultrasound
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks how well a lung ultrasound score matches oxygen levels after heart surgery. It may help clinicians monitor breathing problems using ultrasound and guide non-drug breathing and therapy care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older and have had heart surgery using a heart-lung machine
- You must be able to understand the plan and give written consent
- Your body weight is within a BMI range from about 18.5 to 35
- Your pain during the visit should be mild (pain score under 4)
- You must be fully awake and oriented (no confusion) during the visit
- You must be prescribed non-invasive breathing support and physiotherapy

This study tests a breathing treatment using mild air pressure after heart surgery to help your lungs work better and reduce complications. It may be an option for people at higher risk for lung problems or those with early breathing issues after 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 tests whether using ultrasound to look at the lungs during and after heart surgery helps improve recovery. You may be eligible if you are having open-heart surgery with a heart-lung machine and meet certain health criteria.
This study uses a simple breathing test before scheduled heart surgery to see if it can help predict breathing or lung complications after the operation. The results may help doctors identify patients who need extra support during recovery.
This study uses ultrasound images of the lungs before surgery to predict which patients might develop breathing problems afterward. It helps doctors understand how a simple scan can warn about complications, so they can prepare better care after your operation.
This trial tests a new way to set oxygen levels during spine surgery while lying face down. The goal is to see if it can prevent small air sacs in the lungs from collapsing after surgery, which may help you breathe easier.
