Predicting breathing machine needs after aortic dissection surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is looking at people who had emergency surgery for a specific type of aortic tear (aortic dissection). The goal is to create a tool that helps doctors predict how long a patient might need a breathing machine after that surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with acute type A aortic dissection (a tear in the main artery from the heart).
- You had surgery on your aorta that used a heart-lung machine.
- You were in the intensive care unit after surgery and on a breathing machine (ventilator).
- You are not pregnant, and you do not have severe lung disease like lung cancer.
