Blood flow study in ICU patients after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at blood flow patterns in patients after non-emergency heart surgery to see if they relate to recovery in the ICU. It uses a special ultrasound to check blood vessels in the belly and leg.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial looks at how blood backing up in veins after heart surgery might relate to delirium (sudden confusion). It uses a special ultrasound to check vein blood flow and then watches for confusion afterward.
This trial looks at how fluid buildup in veins might relate to kidney injury after planned heart surgery. It aims to find ways to prevent kidney damage. Participants must be having planned (non-emergency) heart surgery, be 18 or older, and have healthy kidneys and overall health.
This study uses a harmless ultrasound to take pictures of a large vein (inferior vena cava) in your belly before heart surgery. The goal is to see how well it shows changes in blood flow, which could help doctors monitor your heart and fluids during and after surgery.
This study looks at how changes in blood pressure after heart surgery might affect your recovery. It uses continuous monitoring in the ICU to see if certain patterns are linked to complications.
This study measures how well blood flows through small vessels in your heart and under your tongue during open-heart surgery. It aims to better understand circulation in people having valve repair or aorta replacement with a heart-lung machine.
This study looks at how changes in blood flow (called venous congestion) after heart surgery might affect thinking and memory. It aims to find out if there is a link between how blood returns to the heart and brain function after surgery.
