Anticoagulation and Inflammation Monitoring in Patients After Heart and Vascular Interventions
The goal of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the most appropriate anticoagulation monitoring tool for unfractionated heparin (UFH), by comparison of different monitoring modalities in relation to adverse events occurrence (thrombosis/bleeding). The main study questions are: What is the most appropriate anticoagulation monitoring tool (ACT, aPTT, viscoelastic tests …
Cardiopulmonary Bypass Induced Red Blood Cell Lysis
Studying the dynamics of red blood cell lysis, pfH, protective proteins and organ injury, limits will be set for safe levels of pfH following the use of CPB. These results will be compared to existing laboratory-based methods for determining red blood cell damage to predict CPB assist device safety. Further, …
Older People's Neurocognitive Recovery After Cardiac Surgery
Society is aging and advantages in anesthesia and surgery allow more complex interventions in older persons. Old age is a significant risk factor for the development of postoperative neurocognitive decline characterized by a gradual decrease in performance in several cognitive domains such as memory, attention, information processing, and executive functions, …
Iron Deficiency in Pediatric Heart Surgery
The prevalence of iron deficiency in pediatric cardiac surgery patients is not very well known. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia, higher transfusion rates and possibly higher complication rates. In this retrospective study, the iron status of all patients undergoing pediatric cardiac surgery at our institution between January 2019 and …
Affecting Factors for Chronic Pain After Sternotomy
Chronic pain is common complication of surgery procedures. Rates of mortalits is getting lower in cardiac surgery. This situation has brought us to focus morbidity and long term life quality. Previous study show that chronic pain after cardiac surgery is experienced 11-40% patient. Multifactorial causes play a role in chronic …
Biobank Cardiac Surgery
Treatment strategies for cardiac surgery patients have been evolving significantly for the last decade. While clinical outcomes have been improving, there are still significant areas unexplored in these patients. Cardiac surgery, or cardiovascular surgery, is surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons. It is often used …
Observational Study of Platelet Dysfunction Assessed by Thromboelastography in Cardiovascular Surgery (DISPLATEG)
Perioperative bleeding requiring blood transfusion is common during cardiovascular surgery, especially in procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) plays a fundamental role in platelet function. Several studies have shown that some patients not receiving antiplatelet therapy undergoing cardiovascular surgery have decreased platelet ADP receptor activity; the prevalence of this …
HYPNOSIS DURING PERIOPERATIVE CARDIAC SURGERY
Evaluation of practices: retrospective and prospective monocentric survey on the satisfaction of patients undergoing Cardiac Surgery who were able to benefit from additional management by Ericksonian Medical Hypnosis during their stay.
Neuroinflammation/Oxidative Stress/Cardiac Surgery
The prospective observational study delves into the complex relationship between neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in post-cardiac surgery complications, focusing on postoperative cognitive dysfunction.
Depressive Symptoms After Cardiac Surgery
The primary goal of this project is to develop a predictive model for clinically significant depressive symptoms (CSDS) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, using pre- and perioperative data. CSDS occur in about 30 percent of CABG patients, which is four times higher than in the general …
