Heart surgery fluid showdown: which priming solution works best?
NCT ID NCT07267546
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how different fluids used to fill the heart-lung machine before heart surgery affect the body's balance. 80 adults having bypass or valve surgery will be split into four groups, each receiving a different priming solution. Researchers will track changes in acid-base balance, electrolytes, and kidney function to find the safest option.

- Active substance
- Ringer's Acetate and Plasmalyte (priming solutions)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors choose the best priming fluid to reduce side effects during heart surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It is not testing a new treatment, only comparing existing fluids.
