All recruiting trials (7)
-
Eurosets arterial and venous cannulas for cardiopulmonary bypass procedures
This trial will test Eurosets arterial and venous cannulas during cardiopulmonary bypass in adults having elective coronary or aortic valve surgery to see if they are as safe and work as well as Medtronic cannulas.
-
Using virtual reality to reduce opioid use after heart and thoracic operations
This study will test whether adding virtual reality sessions after cardiac or thoracic surgery can lower opioid use in patients aged 16–40.
-
Comparing two methods for pain relief after minimally invasive heart surgery
This study is testing two different ways to relieve pain after minimally invasive heart surgery to see which one helps patients feel better and use fewer pain medications.
-
Carbohydrate loading for diabetic patients undergoing heart surgery
This study is testing if eating carbohydrates before heart surgery can help people with type 2 diabetes recover better and have fewer complications.
-
Predicting blood needs and hemolysis risk in children having heart surgery
This project will collect blood samples from children having heart surgery to try to build a mathematical model that predicts transfusion needs and hemolysis risk during surgery.
-
Using positive pressure therapy to improve lung function after heart surgery
This study is testing two types of breathing treatments to see which one helps heart surgery patients recover better and avoid lung problems.
-
Monitoring anticoagulation and inflammation in patients after heart and vascular surgery
This study is trying to find the best ways to monitor blood thinning treatments in patients after major heart and vascular surgeries to improve safety and outcomes.
