Predicting heart output changes during surgery using capnography
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses a computer algorithm to predict changes in how well your heart pumps blood during surgery. It looks at carbon dioxide levels in your breath to make these predictions. This could help doctors adjust care in real time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having planned (not emergency) surgery under general anesthesia.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You will have a special blood pressure monitor placed in an artery and a sensor to measure carbon dioxide in your breath.
- Your surgery is not on your heart, lungs, or major blood vessels.
- You do not have asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- Your breathing test (pulmonary function test) before surgery is not moderately or severely abnormal.

This study looks at how blood pressure and brain oxygen levels during heart surgery might help us predict recovery. If you are having heart surgery, your participation could help doctors understand how to improve care.
This trial tests a special nose monitor that measures carbon dioxide during awakening from anesthesia. It may help prevent low oxygen levels in older adults recovering from abdominal surgery.
This study observes how different levels of breathing support during heart surgery affect your heart's function. Researchers will use ultrasound and monitoring tools already planned for your surgery to see how small changes in breathing pressure impact your heart's performance.
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.
This trial compares two ways doctors monitor your body's circulation during colorectal surgery. One method tracks blood pressure; the other tracks how much blood your heart pumps. Researchers want to see which approach leads to better outcomes and fewer complications.
This trial studies whether tailoring anesthesia and monitoring the brain’s blood-flow control during heart surgery can improve neurological outcomes (brain-related function and recovery). It may help by guiding anesthesia in a more individualized way and checking how well the brain is protected during the operation.
