Carbon dioxide gap after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at a simple blood test after heart surgery to see if it can help predict recovery. It may help doctors understand how well the body is recovering and guide better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for elective heart bypass surgery that is expected to take no more than 2 hours.
- After surgery, you will be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You will have an arterial line and a central line in place for monitoring.
- You do not have kidney or liver disease before surgery.
- You are not pregnant and do not have chronic lung conditions like COPD.

This study looks at how changes in blood pressure during heart bypass surgery relate to how quickly the body clears lactic acid afterwards, which is a sign of recovery. It may help doctors understand recovery patterns after surgery.
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 looks at whether certain blood markers (carbon dioxide and lactate) can help predict confusion or memory problems after heart surgery. If you're having planned heart surgery, the findings may help doctors identify and support patients at higher risk for post-surgery thinking issues.
This study looks at whether a simple COPD assessment test score can predict how well patients with stable COPD do after planned surgery. It may help doctors better understand and manage risks for people like you.
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 looks at how different ventilator settings during heart surgery affect lung complications afterward. It aims to find the safest way to support breathing during surgery.
