New heart monitoring during bypass surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to monitor your heart and blood flow during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see if this integrated approach helps doctors make better decisions during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned (elective) heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass).
- Your surgery will include standard monitoring tools like a TEE probe (an ultrasound in your esophagus) and an arterial line (a tube in your artery).
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate.

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 tests a new non-invasive way to monitor how well oxygen is being delivered to your body during and after heart surgery. Researchers will compare this new monitoring method with standard devices that are already being used during your surgery.
This trial studies whether a heart ultrasound test called GLS can help predict complications when patients are taken off the heart-lung machine after heart surgery. It aims to improve management for better outcomes.
This study compares two methods—visual checks and a special ultrasound of the heart—to see which better predicts how well the heart will pump after bypass machine support is removed during elective heart surgery.
This trial tests a new way to monitor blood flow in the brain during heart bypass surgery. It may help patients who need coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with a heart-lung machine.
This study tests if using ultrasound during heart bypass surgery can help doctors see how well blood flows through the new bypass tubes. This might improve the success of the surgery and recovery.
