Study on CO2 gap after heart-lung machine surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at a measurement called the CO2 gap in patients after heart bypass surgery. It may help doctors understand how well patients are recovering. If you are having planned heart surgery and are admitted to the ICU afterward, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are having planned coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery that uses a heart-lung machine (CPB) for 120 minutes or less.
- You will be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after surgery.
- You will have an arterial line and a central venous catheter placed as part of your care.
- You do not have kidney or liver disease before surgery.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have a chronic lung disease like COPD, and your BMI is less than 40.
