Comparing two heart-lung machine methods for bypass surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of using the heart-lung machine during heart bypass surgery to see which one causes less inflammation and stress on the body. If you are having planned heart bypass surgery, participating could help doctors understand how to reduce recovery side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be having a planned (non-emergency) coronary artery bypass surgery, which is a common heart operation to improve blood flow to your heart.
- Your surgery must use a heart-lung machine (called cardiopulmonary bypass) and be done through a cut in the middle of your chest (median sternotomy).
- You must not have had any previous heart surgery.
- You must not be pregnant at the time of the study.
- You must not have allergies to the medications used in this trial, except for cefazolin (a type of antibiotic).
- During the surgery, if the doctor finds a specific heart defect (atrial septal defect) or if the type of heart-lung machine needs to be changed, you would be withdrawn from the study.

This trial compares a newer heart-lung machine setup (MiECC) with the usual bypass technique during certain heart operations. It may help see whether MiECC changes outcomes like the need for blood transfusions or recovery after surgery.
This study compares two ways of removing extra fluid from the body during heart surgery with a heart-lung machine in children under 5. The goal is to find which method is safer and works better.
This study looks at patients having planned heart bypass surgery using a heart-lung machine to understand what factors affect their recovery. It helps doctors learn more about how to improve outcomes after surgery.
This study compares two ways of managing the breathing machine during coronary bypass surgery — one that controls pressure and one that controls airflow — to see which better protects your lungs and diaphragm. If you are having this surgery, the results may help improve your recovery.
This study tests a new way to monitor your heart and blood flow during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see if this integrated approach helps doctors make better decisions during the operation.
This study follows patients who have a type of heart bypass surgery called 'beating heart' CABG, where a special Getinge device is used to keep the heart pumping during the operation. It helps doctors learn more about how well these devices work in real-world use.
