Venous Congestion and Cardiac Surgery-Associated Acute Kidney Injury
Venous pressure is often overlooked as an important hemodynamic parameter. Elevated venous pressure and blood stasis in organ tissues can lead to interstitial edema. Intraoperative venous blood stasis can rapidly increase interstitial pressures within organ tissues, especially in organs encapsulated by tissue envelopes, such as the kidney, thereby rapidly reducing …
The Effect of Virtual Reality on Postoperative Pain and Anxiety in Cardiac Surgery.
The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of VR on post-operative pain and anxiety management in cardiac surgery patients undergoing a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure. Participants in the intervention group will receive a 20 minute session with the head mounted VR device on post-operative days …
Blood Conservation in Patients (3.5-12kg) Undergoing Congenital Cardiac Surgery
To evaluate if there is any clinical difference in patients 3.5-12kg who undergo cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass that do and do not receive blood products as part of their procedure. The main hypothesis of the study is that the patients undergoing bloodless cardiac surgery will have decreased morbidity and …
Prevention and Treatment of AKI VEXUS Guided Post Cardiac Surgery
The main goal of this clinical trial is to learn if evaluation by ultrasound of venous congestion of liver and kidneys can guide treatment and prevent and treat acute kidney injury post cardiac surgery (CSA-AKI). Participants will: Be evaluated by liver and kidney veins ultrasound (treatment group) or a placebo …
Liraglutide in Preventing Delirium in Diabetic Elderly After Cardiac Surgery
This study aims to clarify the preventive effect of perioperative liraglutide application on postoperative delirium in elderly patients with Type 2 diabetes undergoing cardiac surgery.
Effectiveness of Continuous Glucose Monitoring System Among Cardiac Surgery Patients
The aim of this study is to assess the level of glycemic control and the incidence of surgery-related complications in cardiac patients post-surgery when Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is utilized, as compared to traditional methods of arterial/venous blood sampling and Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) for glucose monitoring.
Ear Acupressure for Reducing Anxiety and Pain During Heart Surgery
Acupuncture and acupressure, rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, are used to treat a variety of symptoms. One specific and easy-to-apply method is ear acupuncture/acupressure following the NADA protocol (developed by the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association in 1985 in New York). This technique has been used successfully in Germany since 1995. …
Positive Pressure Therapy to Optimize LUNG Function After Heart Surgery
The most common cardiac surgeries are myocardial revascularization and valve replacement or plastic surgery. In the postoperative period of cardiac surgeries, the incidence of pulmonary complications ranges from 30% to 50% and is associated with increased length of hospital stay and morbidity and mortality. To reduce or minimize the occurrence …
Nifekalant Versus Amiodarone in New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery
Postoperative atrial fibrillation is a major complication of cardiac surgery, which could lead to high morbidity and mortality, increase duration of hospital stay and increase the cost of treatment. New-onset atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery is considered as a multifactorial phenomenon. Amiodarone, the most commonly used drug for cardioversion, is …
SGC Stimulation, Perioperative Vascular Reactivity, and Organ Injury in Cardiac Surgery
The goal of this mechanistic clinical trial is to learn about the effects of medications called soluble guanylyl cyclase stimulators on vascular function and markers of kidney and brain injury in patients having heart surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does soluble guanylyl cyclase stimulation improve blood …
