Measuring kidney oxygen during heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special device can help protect your kidneys during heart surgery. The device measures oxygen levels in the kidney and may guide doctors to prevent kidney damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years of age or older.
- You are scheduled for heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine to keep blood flowing during the operation.
- Your kidney function is good enough, based on a blood test showing an estimated filtration rate of at least 50 ml/min.
- You are not currently on dialysis.
