Could belly pressure predict heart surgery outcomes?
NCT ID NCT07752082
First seen Aug 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether increased pressure inside the abdomen, measured after open-heart surgery, is linked to a higher risk of complications or death. Researchers will measure this pressure in 100 adults at three key times during and after surgery. They will then compare recovery outcomes, such as time on a breathing tube, hospital stay, and complications, between patients with high and normal pressure. No treatment is given; the goal is simply to see if this measurement could help predict who needs extra care.
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 a link is found, it could lead to better monitoring and early intervention to reduce complications after open-heart surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it can only show associations, not cause and effect. Results may be influenced by other factors and may not apply to all patients.

Who is studied
The study population consisted of consecutive adult patients scheduled for elective open-heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass at the Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation of Bursa Yüksek İhtisas Training and Research Hospital between March 2023 and March 2024. Eligible patients who provided written informed consent were enrolled prospectively. Participants were classified according to whether intra-abdominal hypertension developed during the perioperative period. A total of 100 patients were enrolled, and 98 patients were included in the final comparative analysis.
