New study aims to prevent kidney damage after heart surgery
NCT ID NCT07183397
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will observe 250 heart surgery patients in the ICU to see how giving fluids affects vein congestion and kidney function. Doctors will use ultrasound to measure vein congestion and track kidney injury over the first week. The goal is to find better ways to manage fluids and prevent kidney problems.
