Bypass machine settings to protect kidneys during heart surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special way of running the heart-lung bypass machine during planned heart surgery can help protect your kidneys and reduce the risk of kidney injury after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a planned (non-emergency) heart surgery that uses a heart-lung bypass machine.
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form.
- You are not having a heart or lung transplant, or a ventricular assist device (mechanical heart pump) implanted.
- You do not have sepsis, delirium, or unstable vital signs (like very fast heart rate with low blood pressure).
- You are not on medications to support your blood pressure or on a mechanical circulatory support device.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies ways to control the “pulsatility” (how the blood pressure pulses during circulation) while you are on a heart-lung bypass machine. It may help improve safety and heart function during planned heart surgery.
This trial looks at whether a specific heart-surgery technique (called CLCVP) can help protect kidney function soon after surgery. It is mainly for adults with otherwise normal kidney tests before certain types of heart operations.
This trial tests a targeted way to manage blood pressure before and after off-pump heart bypass surgery, with the goal of reducing acute kidney injury (sudden kidney problems). It may help some people by lowering stress on the kidneys during and right after surgery.
This trial tests a new device that helps support kidney function during heart surgery. It is for people with mild to moderate kidney problems who are having bypass or valve surgery.
This trial tests whether personalized care can prevent acute kidney injury (sudden kidney damage) after heart or major blood vessel surgery. If you are having planned heart valve repair, bypass, or aortic surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids during heart surgery with the goal of protecting your kidneys. It uses a special device to guide fluid levels and checks early signs of kidney injury.
