Lung protection during heart bypass surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for planned (not emergency) coronary artery bypass surgery through a chest cut (median sternotomy).
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- Your overall health is classified as ASA II or III (mild to moderate risk before surgery).
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is 35% or higher.
- You do not have severe lung disease, kidney failure, anemia, or obesity (BMI over 35).
- You have not needed a breathing machine in the 2 months before surgery.

This study tests different ways of setting breathing support during open-heart surgery to reduce lung complications after surgery. It may help improve recovery by protecting your lungs while you are on the heart-lung machine.
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.
This study compares two ways of managing the breathing machine during coronary bypass surgery — one that controls pressure and one that controls airflow — to see which better protects your lungs and diaphragm. If you are having this surgery, the results may help improve your recovery.
This trial compares different strategies for keeping a specific blood pressure level during heart-lung bypass surgery. It may help reduce complications by finding the safest blood pressure target during the operation.
This study tests a breathing treatment using mild air pressure after heart surgery to help your lungs work better and reduce complications. It may be an option for people at higher risk for lung problems or those with early breathing issues after surgery.
This trial tests whether adding a device called a Flutter to standard chest physical therapy can improve your breathing and lung function after heart bypass surgery. It may help you recover better if you have mild to moderate COPD.
