Does longer time on Heart-Lung machine mean longer ICU stay?

NCT ID NCT07711951

First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study examines whether the duration a patient spends on cardiopulmonary bypass (heart-lung machine) and with the aorta clamped during coronary artery bypass surgery is linked to how long they stay in the intensive care unit afterward. Researchers will review medical records of 400 adults who had elective bypass surgery at a single center. The goal is to see if longer bypass and clamp times independently predict longer ICU stays, after accounting for other factors.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If clear links are found, surgeons may adjust techniques to shorten bypass and clamp times, potentially reducing ICU stays and complications.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center, retrospective review, so it can only show associations, not cause and effect. Results may not apply to other hospitals or patient groups.
