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 tests whether using a special monitor in the heart (pulmonary artery catheter) during surgery helps doctors care for patients better. It is for adults having heart or major chest surgery, but does not include very high-risk emergency cases.
This study looks at patients having planned heart bypass surgery using a heart-lung machine to understand what factors affect their recovery. It helps doctors learn more about how to improve outcomes after surgery.
This study looks at how your heart and lungs work together during lung surgery using small incisions. By monitoring blood flow in a neck artery, doctors hope to improve safety during the operation.
This study checks whether a new non-invasive measurement of oxygen delivery is accurate in patients having heart surgery. Participating may help improve monitoring during and after surgery, without extra procedures beyond what is already part of your care.
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.
