Study of pneumonia after heart bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at pneumonia that happens in the hospital after coronary artery bypass surgery. It aims to understand who is at risk and how to better prevent or treat it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You are having or have just had bypass surgery for blocked heart arteries
- You have moved from the ICU to a regular hospital room after surgery
- You have one or more known risk factors for hospital-acquired pneumonia (for example, older age, diabetes, or weak immune system)
- You must sign a consent form to join the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at tiny structures inside heart muscle cells (especially “power stations” in the cells) in people with certain types of heart failure who are getting coronary bypass surgery. It may help researchers better understand what changes happen in the heart and how this could guide future care.
This study looks at patterns in heart disease outcomes after bypass or stent surgery, using traditional Chinese medicine principles to predict how patients will do long-term. Researchers hope to identify which patients are at higher risk for complications so they can plan better care.
This study uses artificial intelligence to help predict if patients might develop pneumonia after heart or blood vessel surgery. It aims to find warning signs early so doctors can act sooner.
This study looks at how to predict major heart problems in people with heart failure who are scheduled for bypass surgery (CABG). It aims to improve risk assessment before the procedure.
This study looks at how pneumonia affects the long-term health of your heart and lungs by studying the germs that live in your body. It may help doctors understand why some people get worse and how to better protect your heart after a serious infection.
This study looks at what factors affect recovery in people having planned coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with a heart-lung machine. The goal is to find out what helps predict a good recovery.
