Guiding fluid removal after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a method to guide how much fluid is removed after heart surgery using a urine salt test, to see if it helps patients recover better. If you are having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine (bypass)
- You are able to receive a water pill (furosemide) through your vein within 2 days after surgery if needed
- You are covered by French national health insurance
- You do not have severe kidney disease (eGFR less than 60)
- You have not been taking water pills (loop diuretics) regularly before surgery

This trial tests if using a special ultrasound score (VeXUS) to guide fluid removal can improve recovery in patients with acute kidney injury after heart surgery. It compares this approach to standard care to see if it leads to better outcomes.
This trial tests a device designed to safely remove extra fluid from patients hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It may help those who are not responding well to standard water pills (diuretics).
This study tests a medicine called rhBNP (a type of heart hormone) to help people who still have too much fluid in their body after heart surgery, even when water pills (diuretics) are not working well. The goal is to see if it helps the kidneys remove more fluid and improve recovery.
This trial tests whether using belly pressure and bedside ultrasound can help doctors better manage fluid removal (decongestion) in people hospitalized with heart failure. The goal is to see if this approach leads to better outcomes.
This study is testing if a combination of two medicines (aminophylline and furosemide) can help the kidneys produce more urine after heart surgery. It may help reduce fluid buildup and protect kidney function.
This trial studies a medicine strategy to remove extra fluid from the body in ICU patients who have fluid overload. It aims to see whether controlled fluid removal is safer and better for recovery than usual care.
