Predicting blood pressure medication needs after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks if a simple measurement from your artery line can predict whether you'll need medication to keep your blood pressure stable right after heart surgery. The goal is to help doctors tailor care so you stay safer during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for elective (non-emergency) heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine (on-pump).
- You will have an arterial line (a small tube in your wrist or leg) to monitor your blood pressure.
- You will be on a breathing machine (ventilator) after anesthesia.

This study looks at how changes in blood pressure during heart bypass surgery relate to how quickly the body clears lactic acid afterwards, which is a sign of recovery. It may help doctors understand recovery patterns after surgery.
This study compares two ways of managing blood pressure during heart bypass surgery to see which is better for patient outcomes. The goal is to help doctors choose the right blood pressure targets during surgery.
This study looks at how blood pressure medications affect low blood pressure episodes that happen during and after heart surgery. Researchers want to understand if the number of blood pressure drugs you take before surgery changes how your body handles blood pressure during the operation.
This study looks at how to predict low blood pressure in the recovery room (PACU) after certain major surgeries. It may help the surgical team recognize risk earlier so they can respond sooner to protect you during recovery.
This trial tests a new monitoring tool that predicts drops in blood pressure before they happen during major aortic surgery. It may help doctors keep your blood pressure more stable during the procedure.
This study looks at whether a simple heart rate and blood pressure measure can help predict if patients with heart conditions will have heart problems after major abdominal surgery. It may help doctors monitor patients more closely and prevent complications.
