Angiopoietin and Adverse Outcomes in Cardiac Surgery
Cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass can lead to systemic organ failure trough excess inflammation and endothelial injury. The angiopoietin family represented by angiopoietin 1 and 2 can reflect endothelial injury by a decrease in angiopoietin 1 and an increase in angiopoietin 2. The investigators hypothesized that angiopoietin dysregulation could reflect …
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, …
Femoral Versus Radial Invasive Arterial Pressure Monitoring in Cardiac Surgery Patients
Background: Acute circulatory failure, often presenting as arterial hypotension, is a major contributor to postoperative morbidity and mortality. Accurate blood pressure (BP) monitoring is essential for timely therapeutic intervention, particularly in patients undergoing major surgery. Among invasive BP measurement sites, the radial artery is commonly used due to its accessibility …
Feasibility Study of Novice-Performed Lung Ultrasound for Pneumothorax Detection After Cardiac Surgery
What is the purpose of this study? This study is being done to find out if medical trainees (such as residents and fellows) can learn to use lung ultrasound to detect a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) after heart surgery. Who is participating in the study? Adults who have recently had heart …
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 …
Evaluation of Virtual Reality for Reducing Opioid Use After Cardiac and Thoracic Surgery
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of virtual reality (VR) as an adjunctive therapeutic method to reduce opioid consumption during the postoperative period of cardiac and thoracic surgeries. Conducted at InCor/HCFMUSP, this single-center, prospective, randomized trial will include 60 patients aged 16 to 40 undergoing procedures such as …
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 …
A Study to Understand How Cardiac Surgery-associated Acute Kidney Injury Develops in Participants Who Undergo Heart Surgery With the Use of Heart-lung Machine
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat and prevent cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) in people who undergo heart surgeries. CSA-AKI is a common complication in people undergoing heart surgeries, where the kidneys stop working properly. CSA-AKI risk factors include older age and alongside diseases such as …
The Effect of Combined Iron Protocols on Perioperative Allogeneic Transfusion
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a combined iron supplementation regimen can reduce the need for blood transfusions in adults with iron-deficiency anemia undergoing major elective cardiac surgery. The trial will also look at whether this regimen is safe and well tolerated. The main questions it …
Delayed Cold-Stored Platelets -PLTS-1
PLTS-1 is a multicentre, randomized, controlled, pilot trial, using a conventional, parallel group, two-armed design at 2 cardiac surgery centres in Canada. The study is designed to assess the feasibility of a future, definitive RCT to determine the non-inferiority of cold-stored platelets compared to conventional platelets with respect to hemostatic …
