Clinical Trial: Bedside Assessment of Right Ventricular Output Lying in Prone Or Supine Position

U.S., June 9 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07632027) titled 'Bedside Assessment of Right Ventricular Output Lying in Prone Or Supine Position' on March 24.

Brief Summary: Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a common complication to cardiac surgery, which is associated to mortality, kidney failure, stroke, prolonged mechanical ventilation and ICU stay. The right ventricle is particularly vulnerable to an increased afterload. By increasing pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), atelectasis might mitigate a negative effect on the right ventricle.

Recruitment maneuvers have been shown to resolve atelectasis and improve hemodynamics by increasing cardiac output and lowering PVR. However these maneuve...
