Heart Function and Breathing After Heart Surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study follows patients who were part of previous heart surgery research to understand how the right side of the heart works and how breathing affects blood acid levels after surgery. Researchers will use existing measurements to learn more about recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You participated in and completed one of two earlier heart surgery studies (NCT05886413 or NCT06826794)
- You had measurements of lung blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) taken during or after surgery
- You had central venous pressure measured (a tube in a vein to monitor heart function)
- You had cardiac output measured (how much blood your heart pumps)
- You had an arterial blood gas test done when you arrived in the intensive care unit after surgery

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 measures how well your heart pumps blood after heart surgery while you're lying flat or on your stomach. Researchers want to find the best body position for accurate heart monitoring in patients recovering from bypass surgery.
This study looks at a measurement called the CO2 gap in patients after heart bypass surgery. It may help doctors understand how well patients are recovering. If you are having planned heart surgery and are admitted to the ICU afterward, you may be able to join.
This study checks how well a lung ultrasound score matches oxygen levels after heart surgery. It may help clinicians monitor breathing problems using ultrasound and guide non-drug breathing and therapy care.
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.
