NCT ID NCT05304416
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 347 heart surgery patients to understand why some develop swallowing problems (dysphagia). Researchers will use special camera tests to watch how patients swallow and look for risk factors. The goal is to create simple tools that doctors can use at the bedside to predict and spot swallowing issues early, helping patients recover more safely.
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 successful, this could lead to a simple bedside test and a risk calculator to help doctors identify and manage swallowing problems after heart surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The tools developed may not be accurate enough for widespread use, and results may not apply to all heart surgery patients.
