Clinical Trial: Heart-Lung Machine: Impact of the Priming Solution on Acid-Base Balance, Electrolytes and Outcome on Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

U.S., Dec. 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07267546) titled 'Heart-Lung Machine: Impact of the Priming Solution on Acid-Base Balance, Electrolytes and Outcome on Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery' on Nov. 17.

Brief Summary: Most cardiac surgery procedures requires the use of heart-lung machine. The heart-lung machine circuit needs to be filled with a fluid before connecting it to the patients circulation. This is called priming and is accomplished by filling the circuit with a solution used for fluid replacement. The circuit in our institution requires 1100 mL to be filled.

The body has several mechanisms with the purpose to maintain its state of balance. When a large amount of clear soluti...
