Vein congestion and confusion after heart surgery trial
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for planned (not emergency) heart surgery through a cut in the middle of your chest.
- You are 18 years or older.
- Before surgery, you are thinking clearly and can answer questions and do simple tests.
- You do not have severe liver, kidney, or heart failure, or other major health problems.
- You are not pregnant and have no known issues that would make the ultrasound hard to do.

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 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 studies how giving fluids affects blood buildup in the veins of critically ill heart patients in the ICU. It may help doctors decide how much fluid to give.
This study is looking at how well the brain regulates its blood flow during heart surgery and whether that affects the chance of becoming confused (delirium) after surgery. Researchers want to find ways to prevent delirium in older adults having heart 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 study looks at ways to predict and prevent serious problems like death or heart complications after major heart or blood vessel surgeries. It involves two parts: first, a check to see if you're at higher risk, and second, extra monitoring during surgery if needed.
