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.

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 ultrasound to look at blood flow in veins near the liver and spleen shortly after surgery. It helps doctors understand how well these veins are working in patients who are in the intensive care unit, which may guide better care.
This study watches how the right side of your heart responds when doctors give you extra fluids to improve blood flow during a critical illness. Understanding this response may help doctors make better decisions about fluid treatment in the ICU.
This study looks at how blood pressure changes and oxygen levels after heart surgery relate to complications. It may help improve care for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) after their first heart surgery.
This study uses ultrasound to check how well your body handles fluids after heart surgery. It helps doctors decide if you need more or less fluids to keep you stable in the intensive care unit.
