Preventing Systemic Inflammation After Cardiac Surgery With Alkaline Phosphatase
Study should demonstrate that alkaline phosphatase reduces the incidence and extent of acute kidney injury after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) as defined by the AKIN criteria.
Cognitive Outcomes After Dexmedetomidine Sedation in Cardiac Surgery Patients
Anesthesia is a drug induced, reversible, comatose state that facilitates surgery and it is widely assumed that cognition returns to baseline after anesthetics have been eliminated. However, many patients have persistent memory impairment for weeks to months after surgery. Cardiac surgery appears to carry the highest risk of postoperative cognitive …
Extended Perioperative Administration of Fibrinolysis Inhibitors After Cardiac Surgery
PRIORITY is a pragmatic, multi-center, cluster crossover trial that aims to evaluate whether implementing a policy of routine extended (intraoperative and 4 hour after transfer to ICU) use of fibrinolysis inhibitors leads to a decrease in post-operative blood transfusion compared to a policy that only involves intraoperative use.
Dexmedetomidine in Reducing Postoperative Delirium in Cardiac Surgery Patients
Delirium is a common consequence of cardiac surgery and associates with poor outcomes. Multiple causes can trigger delirium occurence, and it has been hypothesised that sleep disturbances can be one of them. Dexmedetomidine may be effective in reducing delirium. The aim of this study was to demonstrate preoperative dexmedetomidine nasal …
COmbined pLaTelet and eRythrocyte AutotransfusioN During Cardiac surgEry (COLTRANE) Trial
Despite significant advances in patient blood management, cardiac surgery remains a surgical procedure at high risk for bleeding. Numerous perioperative blood conservation strategies have been developed for limiting the use of blood products. Among them, the processing of shed blood and residual cardiopulmonary bypass circuit volume with autotransfusion device is …
Colchicine in Patients at Cardiac Risk Undergoing Major Non-Cardiac Surgery
Perioperative myocardial injury and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) are common causes of morbidity and mortality in patients at increased cardiovascular risk undergoing non-cardiac surgery. However, research in recent years has yielded limited preventive and therapeutic measures for myocardial injury/MACE. Recent studies in patients with chronic and acute coronary artery …
The Direct Oral Anticoagulation Versus Vitamin K Antagonist After Cardiac Surgery Trial
The DANCE Trial is a multi-centre, randomized controlled trial comparing the safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) versus vitamin K antagonists (VKA) in the early period (30 days) after cardiac surgery in patients with atrial fibrillation requiring oral anticoagulation.
Effect of Colchicine on Perioperative Anti-inflammatory Organ Injury in Cardiac Surgery
All patients will be completed collection of demographic data, clinical data, and be observed for inflammatory organ damage, oxygenation index or SpO2/ FIO2, WBC, NEU, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, interleukin-8 (IL-1β/6/8), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), myoglobin (Myo), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), neutrophil elastase …
The Effect of Retrograde Autologous Priming on Transfusion Requirements After Cardiac Surgery
The TheRAPy vanguard trial is a multicentre, multiple period randomized, cluster crossover vanguard trial testing the feasibility of a full-scale trial to evaluate whether a centre-based policy of routine use of RAP versus a policy of crystalloid priming reduces RBC transfusion for patients undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass. It …
Dexmedetomidine or Clonidine Infusion for Prevention of Delirium After Open Heart Surgery
A parallel-group treatment, five-centre, participant and investigator masked, three-arm study to assess the safety and effectiveness of dexmedetomidine or clonidine infusion compared to placebo for the prevention of delirium and cognitive decline in male and female participants aged 70+ scheduled for open heart surgery.
