Study on heart-lung machine fluid and its effects in heart surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how the fluid used to fill the heart-lung machine affects the body's chemistry and recovery in patients having heart surgery. It may help doctors choose the best fluid for better outcomes after bypass surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a method to see if your body needs more fluids during heart bypass surgery. After the surgeon opens your chest, they will use a special breathing maneuver to check how well your heart responds to extra fluid, which may help guide your care.
This trial compares two types of IV fluids (a starch solution vs. a balanced salt solution) to see which one better protects kidneys after heart surgery. It is for adults having planned heart surgery who do not have severe kidney problems.
This study looks at fluid levels and body composition after heart surgery using a safe, painless device called bioelectrical impedance. It aims to help doctors better manage fluids during recovery.
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 whether a small heart-pacing wire can help doctors decide if you need extra fluids after heart surgery. It is being tested in patients recovering in the intensive care unit (ICU).
This study tests a special IV fluid called Volulyte 6% given before, during, and after major abdominal surgery. The goal is to see if it is safe and helps protect the heart and blood vessels in people who are at higher risk of heart problems.
