Intravenous Iron to Treat Postoperative Anemia in Older Cardiac Surgery Patients
Postoperative anemia is common in cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Iron deficiency delays the recovery from postoperative anemia and may negatively affect the postoperative trajectory of cardiac surgery patients. The objective of the study is to determine the effect of treatment of postoperative iron deficiency anemia with intravenous iron on …
Atrial Appendage Micrograft Transplants to Assist Heart Repair After Cardiac Surgery
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) leads the global mortality statistics. Atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries hallmark IHD, drive hypoxia, and may rupture to result in myocardial infarction (MI) and death of contractile cardiac muscle, which is eventually replaced by a scar. Depending on the extent of the damage, dysbalanced cardiac workload …
Goal-directed vs Preemptive Tranexamic Acid Administration in Non-cardiac Surgery
The present study is a multi-center randomized prospective non-inferiority trial. The study's primary objective is to compare the coagulation profile upon using two different TXA administration strategies: empirical TXA administration vs. viscoelastic test-based goal-directed TXA administration in high-risk non-cardiac surgery. The secondary objectives include comparing the amount of bleeding, incidents …
Customizable Respiratory Exercise Device in Individuals Who Have Undergone Cardiac Surgery
The cardiorespiratory system integrates systemic and pulmonary circulation while ensuring adequate oxygenation of the body at rest and during exercise. In addition to chronic respiratory problems that mainly affect the lungs, airways and pulmonary vascular system, respiratory capacity and respiratory muscle strength can be negatively affected in a wide spectrum …
CellFX® nsPFA™ Cardiac Surgery System to Treat Atrial Fibrillation
This feasibility study will be conducted to demonstrate the initial safety and effectiveness of the CellFX® nsPFA™ Cardiac Clamp in performing a box lesion around the 4 pulmonary veins as an isolated procedure or as a part of a more extensive surgical ablation set in conjunction with concomitant cardiac surgical …
Autologous Whole Blood Management for Transfusion Reduction in Adult Cardiac Surgery Patients
The goal of this pilot trial is to test a protocol for a planned Canada-wide clinical trial looking at whether or not the use of a patients own blood works as good as the current standard of care using donated blood products to reduce blood loss in adult patients having …
The Effect of ACT and Tranexamic Acid on Bleeding in Cardiac Surgery
The goal of this clinical trial is to the dose effect of tranexamic acid and the level of ACT on bleeding in adult cardiac surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does higher dose of tranexamic acid reduce the amount of bleeding and blood transfusion? Does lower ACT …
Effective Myocardial Protection Time of Del Nido Cardioplegia in Adult Cardiac Surgery
This single-center, prospective, observational cohort study quantifies the effective myocardial protection window of Del Nido cardioplegia during adult open-heart surgery performed under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and aortic cross-clamp (ACC). Without altering routine care, time-stamped high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) measurements will be obtained at predefined intraoperative and early postoperative intervals to …
Investigation of Sedation Depth Via BIS Monitoring in ICU After Cardiac Surgery
This study is a non-interventional, observational research project focused on monitoring sedation levels in patients who have undergone cardiac surgery. It uses a tool called Bispectral Index (BIS), which measures brain activity to assess sedation depth. The goal is to understand how often patients experience deep sedation (BIS \<50) during …
Analgesic Efficacy of Rhomboid Intercostal Nerve Block for Minimal Invasive Heart Surgery
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the analgesic efficacy of rhomboid intercostal nerve block (RINB) in patients undergoing minimal invasive heart surgery (MIHS). The main questions it aims to answer are: How will the total perioperative opioid consumption of the patients receiving RINB change? How will RINB …
