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 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 patients having planned heart bypass surgery using a heart-lung machine to understand what factors affect their recovery. It helps doctors learn more about how to improve outcomes after surgery.
This study compares two ways of using the heart-lung machine during heart bypass surgery to see which one causes less inflammation and stress on the body. If you are having planned heart bypass surgery, participating could help doctors understand how to reduce recovery side effects.
This trial compares different strategies for keeping a specific blood pressure level during heart-lung bypass surgery. It may help reduce complications by finding the safest blood pressure target during the operation.
This study looks at how changes in blood pressure during heart bypass surgery relate to how quickly the body clears lactic acid afterwards, which is a sign of recovery. It may help doctors understand recovery patterns after surgery.
This study compares two ways of using a heart-lung machine during bypass surgery to see which causes less inflammation in the body. The goal is to help people recover faster and with fewer complications after heart surgery.
