Multisite Tissue Oxygenation Guided Perioperative Care in Cardiac Surgery
The BOTTOMLINE-CS trial is an international, open, single-center, pragmatic, randomised controlled trial to investigate whether multisite tissue oxygen saturation monitoring-guided perioperative care reduces composite complications within 30 days of randomization in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.
A Randomized Trial of Lenient Versus Strict Arm Instruction Post Cardiac Device Surgery
The purpose and objectives of this study is to investigate whether reducing the existing arm restrictions on patients who receive Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIED) will result in an improved patient experience post operatively and reduce complication rates. There are multiple and varied arm restriction instructions given to patients receiving …
Cerebrum and Cardiac Protection With Allopurinol in Neonates With Critical Congenital Heart Disease Requiring Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Neurodevelopmental impairment due to delayed brain development and brain injury is a fundamental problem in children with critical congenital heart disease (CCHD). Significant longterm motor-, cognitive-, and behavioral problems are the result of early postnatally and perioperatively induced brain injury. Allopurinol, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, prevents the formation of toxic …
BAX602 in Preventing the Adhesion Around Great Cardiac Vessels in Pediatric Patients With Congenital Heart Disease Undergoing Re-do Open Heart Surgery (Japan Trial)
Congenital heart disease occurs in about 1% of live births and can range from (1) naturally curable conditions that require no treatment to (2) conditions that require multiple immediate operations or refractory severe conditions. In the course of a staged surgical intervention, adhesion formation around the heart and large vessels …
I-ASV in Cardiac Surgery
'POStoperative INTELLiVENT-adaptive support VEntilation in cardiac surgery patients II (POSITiVE II) is an investigator-initiated, international, multicenter, parallel, randomized clinical trial in patients after cardiac surgery.
Platelet Function After Cardiac Surgery.
Intraoperative cell salvage is commonly used in cardiac surgery to reduce the administration of allogeneic red blood cells and thus improve the outcome for the patient. When processing the salvaged blood, however, a large part of the patient's plasma is washed out. This is a disadvantage with regard to an …
Sternotomy PIFB Block in Open Heart Surgery
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the use of a bilateral nerve block with a local anesthetic (ropivacaine), as part of a standard of care pain control regimen (called multimodal analgesia [MMA]), has a favorable effect on our institutional MMA pain regimen. Subjects will go through the …
Silymarin for the Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery
The study is a prospective, randomized, controlled trial to assess the effects of silymarin on the occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) vs Pressure Support Ventilation After Cardiac Surgery
The study compares two different ventilation modes, Pressure support ventilation vs. Neuronally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist, in postcardiac surgery patients. Of special interest is shunt and alveolar deadspace and ventral vs. dorsal ventilation.
Accuracy of the Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System Following Cardiac Surgery
This is a prospective longitudinal study to study the agreement between a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) versus current blood glucose monitoring. Subjects in this study will have their blood glucose measured regularly every 1-3 hours with current methods in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU), and by Point of …
