Oxygen use and organ injury after heart-lung bypass surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at how oxygen is used during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine, and whether low oxygen levels can lead to organ damage. It may help doctors better understand how to protect patients during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be scheduled for elective (non-emergency) heart surgery that requires a heart-lung machine.
- You cannot have had this type of surgery before, or need combined procedures or valve repairs.
- You cannot need special blood vessel access beyond the standard way (such as through the groin or neck).
- Your blood lactate level must be normal (below 2 mmol/L) and you must not have severe anemia (hemoglobin above 90 g/L) before surgery.
- You cannot need extra oxygen or intensive care before your surgery.

This study looks at how different oxygen levels during heart bypass surgery might affect recovery. It aims to see if keeping oxygen at a certain level can improve outcomes for people having surgery where a vein from the leg is used to bypass a blocked heart artery.
This trial tests a lung-friendly breathing method during coronary artery bypass surgery, using a personalized ventilator setting to protect your lungs. It may help reduce lung complications after surgery.
This study is testing a new way to manage blood flow after heart surgery in children with congenital heart disease. The goal is to make sure the body gets the right amount of oxygen to help recovery.
This study looks at how ventilator (breathing machine) settings during heart bypass surgery may affect lung complications after surgery. Researchers will monitor your breathing machine data to understand the safest approach for your lungs during the operation.
This study checks how well a lung ultrasound score matches oxygen levels after heart surgery. It may help clinicians monitor breathing problems using ultrasound and guide non-drug breathing and therapy care.
This trial studies whether giving higher or lower oxygen during general anesthesia changes heart and lung outcomes after planned (non-emergency) non-heart surgery. It may help doctors choose safer oxygen settings during surgery for people at higher risk for heart problems.
