Investigating the impact of bypass and cross-clamp times on heart surgery outcomes
Impact of the Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Cross-Clamp Time Ratio on Postoperative Outcomes in Open Heart Surgery: A Prospective Observational Analysis
This study looks at how the time spent on heart-lung machines and the time the heart is stopped during surgery affects recovery and complications for patients having open heart surgery.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to explore how the ratio of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time to cross-clamp (CC) time affects postoperative complications in patients undergoing open heart surgery. By analyzing the relationship between these two time metrics, the study seeks to identify potential correlations with outcomes such as bleeding, acute kidney injury, and other complications. The research will involve patients who are scheduled for on-pump open heart surgery, providing valuable insights into surgical practices and patient care.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients scheduled for elective open heart surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass.
Not a fit: Patients undergoing emergency open heart surgery or those having surgery on a beating heart may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved surgical protocols that minimize postoperative complications for heart surgery patients.
How similar studies have performed: While studies have linked CPB and CC times to complications, this specific ratio has not been previously explored, making this approach novel.
