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.
