Predicting breathing tube needs after aortic surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study aims to help doctors predict how long a patient may need a breathing tube after surgery for a serious aortic condition. This could help plan better care and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of acute type A aortic dissection (a tear in the main artery leaving the heart).
- You must have had surgery for this condition that required a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass).
- After surgery, you need to be on a breathing tube (mechanical ventilation) in the intensive care unit.
- You cannot have needed to be re-intubated (put back on the breathing tube after coming off), and you must survive at least 72 hours after surgery.
- You cannot be pregnant or have a serious condition like lung cancer.

This trial uses artificial intelligence to create a personalized follow-up plan after surgery for a serious heart condition called acute type A aortic dissection. The goal is to see if AI can help detect problems earlier and improve recovery.
This study collects medical information and blood-test timing data to learn how to diagnose aortic dissection sooner and predict outcomes. It may help doctors better plan care for people with suspected or confirmed aortic dissection.
This trial compares two different surgical approaches to repair a life-threatening tear or bulge in the large artery that carries blood from the heart (aorta). The study will help doctors determine which technique is safer and works better for patients needing this complex surgery.
This study watches patients after major surgery to see which factors may increase the chance of needing a breathing tube again. It helps doctors better predict and prevent breathing problems in the intensive care unit.
This study tests a special way of using a breathing machine during surgery to protect your lungs. It is for people who are having surgery to fix a tear in the main artery of the heart (acute type A aortic dissection).
This study looks at how patients do after surgery for an urgent (acute) tear of the aorta or related bleeding in the wall of the ascending aorta. It may help doctors better understand what outcomes to expect after early emergency surgery.
