Heart function and breathing after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how the right side of the heart and blood acid levels (a measure of breathing health) are affected after heart surgery. It may help doctors better understand and improve care for people having heart surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You took part in an earlier related study (NCT05886413 or NCT06826794) about heart surgery.
- You had certain heart pressure and blood flow measurements taken, like pressures in the heart's main blood vessel (pulmonary artery), central vein pressure, and how much blood the heart pumps.
- You had a blood gas test (a blood test that measures oxygen and carbon dioxide) when you arrived at the intensive care unit after surgery.

This study looks at how acid-base balance (the body's pH level) and breathing machine settings affect people in cardiogenic shock or after cardiac arrest. It compares current practices with a computer program called VentilO to see if it can suggest better ventilator settings.
This study checks how your breathing effort changes with different levels of breathing support from the ventilator after major abdominal surgery. It helps doctors find the best settings to help you breathe comfortably while you recover.
This study tests a new way to monitor breathing in patients who are on a ventilator right after heart surgery. It may help doctors adjust settings more accurately.
This study tests a new way to measure how well the right side of the heart pumps blood while you are lying in different positions after heart surgery. It may help doctors assess your recovery more easily.
This study tests a breathing treatment using mild air pressure after heart surgery to help your lungs work better and reduce complications. It may be an option for people at higher risk for lung problems or those with early breathing issues after surgery.
This study looks at a simple blood test after heart surgery to see if it can help predict recovery. It may help doctors understand how well the body is recovering and guide better care.
