IV Acetaminophen After Cardiac Surgery - PILOT
Double blind double dummy of Intravenous Acetaminophen and oral acetaminophen placebo versus IV placebo versus oral acetaminophen in patients following cardiac surgery. The primary endpoint is development of Delirium during the post-operative stay.
Prolonged Chest Tube Treatment to Reduce Rates of Atrial Fibrillation Following Cardiac Surgery
Evacuation of pericardial blood by posterior pericardiotomy or use of a posterior pericardial chest tube lowers postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) rates after cardiac surgery by 45-68%. Although it cannot be generalized due to trial undersizing, posterior pericardial chest tube treatment may be a superior alternative to pericardiotomy, given its low …
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 …
Parasternal Blockade and Serum Lactate in Cardiac Surgery
Serum lactate level is a key indicator of tissue perfusion. Parasternal blockade is associated with reduced postoperative inflammatory response by inhibiting stress response, leading to better outcomes. Elevated lactate levels help identify patients at risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality. This analytical cross-sectional study evaluated the association between parasternal blockade …
Short-Term Atrial Pacing and Hemodynamics After Cardiac Surgery
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether temporary atrial pacing improves heart function after cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). It will also help determine the best pacing rate during the first 24 hours after surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does atrial pacing …
Laser-assisted Ultrasound-guided Peripheral Vein Cannulation in Cardiac Surgery
The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the advantages of single-operator laser-assisted ultrasound-guidance comparing with traditional ultrasound guidance in peripheral venous catheterization.The primary question addressed is whether single-operator laser-assisted ultrasound-guidance could improve the first-attempt success rate of peripheral venous catheterization compared with traditional ultrasound guidance.
Pneumatic Leg Compression and Norepinephrine Requirements in Patients Having Non-cardiac Surgery
The PLANE trial is a randomized, single-center trial investigating whether pneumatic leg compression reduces the amount of norepinephrine needed to keep MAP above 65mmHg compared to routine care without PLC in patients having non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia
GLP-1 Receptor Agonist for Reduction of Myocardial Injury After Non-cardiac Surgery
This is an investigator initiated, multi-center, open-labelled, superiority randomized controlled trial of 372 patients undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery. Recruited patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive single subcutaneous dose of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist (GLP-1 RAs) 1 to 14 days prior to surgery or receive routine care. …
