Testing if atrial pacing predicts fluid needs after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks whether a temporary heart pacing wire can help doctors know if you need extra fluids after heart bypass surgery. It aims to improve how fluid is managed in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had coronary artery bypass surgery (without any other heart valve surgery).
- You are in the intensive care unit on the first day after surgery.
- You have a temporary pacing wire placed on your heart during surgery.
- Your doctor has planned to give you a 500 mL fluid bolus within the first two hours after surgery.
- You can give consent before your surgery, and your doctor thinks you are stable enough to participate.

This trial tests a special pacing therapy that uses your natural breathing rhythm to improve heart function after coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help people with weak heart muscles recover better after surgery.
This trial studies whether a special type of pacing (stimulating the heart's natural electrical system) works better than standard pacing after a procedure to control very fast heart rhythms. It's for people who already have a pacemaker and are getting a specific treatment for atrial fibrillation.
This study tests whether using a pacemaker after heart surgery helps children's hearts recover and pump more efficiently. It is for children under 12 years old who are having heart surgery at Lurie Children's Hospital.
This study compares different ways to place a pacemaker wire in patients who need a pacemaker after heart surgery. The goal is to find the best placement to improve heart function and long-term outcomes.
This trial tests a new type of pacemaker for people with atrial fibrillation who are scheduled for a procedure that disconnects the heart's natural electrical pathway. It may help improve symptoms and heart function.
This study watches for an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation that can happen after heart surgery. The aim is to understand and manage this condition better to support recovery.
