Evaluation of Plasma Renin Concentrations in Cardiac Surgery
The purpose of this research is to learn more about how renin (a blood test) is affected by cardiopulmonary bypass, the heart-lung machine used during open heart surgery. Renin is a protein that may be elevated in response to low blood pressure or situations where organs do not receive sufficient …
Parasternal Blockade and Serum Lactate in Cardiac Surgery
Serum lactate level is a key indicator of tissue perfusion. Parasternal blockade is associated with reduced postoperative inflammatory response by inhibiting stress response, leading to better outcomes. Elevated lactate levels help identify patients at risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality. This analytical cross-sectional study evaluated the association between parasternal blockade …
Mitigating Delirium With Fluvoxamine Treatment for Non-Cardiac Surgery
The investigation will establish biological plausibility and infrastructure required for a multisite clinical trial evaluating the re-purposing of fluvoxamine to mitigate postoperative delirium risk in geriatric patients undergoing non-cardiac non-intracranial surgery.
Short-Term Atrial Pacing and Hemodynamics After Cardiac Surgery
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether temporary atrial pacing improves heart function after cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). It will also help determine the best pacing rate during the first 24 hours after surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does atrial pacing …
Preoperative Use of Romiplostim in Thrombocytopenic Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery.
Romiplostim has demonstrated its efficacy and good tolerance in multiple indications. If the efficacy of Romiplostim is confirmed in this population, thrombocytopenic patients will be able to undergo cardiac surgery, which is generally life-saving, without prior thrombocytopenia. Patients included in the study will be hospitalized within 15 days of the …
Laser-assisted Ultrasound-guided Peripheral Vein Cannulation in Cardiac Surgery
The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the advantages of single-operator laser-assisted ultrasound-guidance comparing with traditional ultrasound guidance in peripheral venous catheterization.The primary question addressed is whether single-operator laser-assisted ultrasound-guidance could improve the first-attempt success rate of peripheral venous catheterization compared with traditional ultrasound guidance.
Evaluation of Preoperative Preparation in Children Undergoing Cardiac Surgery or Catheterization
Children undergoing cardiac surgery or cardiac catheterization often experience significant stress and anxiety during the preoperative period. A prospective, observational assessment of the preoperative/ preinterventional phase in 100 children undergoing cardiac surgery or cardiac catheterization at the Deutsches Herzzentrum der Charité demonstrated a considerable proportion of pediatric patients present with …
Pneumatic Leg Compression and Norepinephrine Requirements in Patients Having Non-cardiac Surgery
The PLANE trial is a randomized, single-center trial investigating whether pneumatic leg compression reduces the amount of norepinephrine needed to keep MAP above 65mmHg compared to routine care without PLC in patients having non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia
GLP-1 Receptor Agonist for Reduction of Myocardial Injury After Non-cardiac Surgery
This is an investigator initiated, multi-center, open-labelled, superiority randomized controlled trial of 372 patients undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery. Recruited patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive single subcutaneous dose of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist (GLP-1 RAs) 1 to 14 days prior to surgery or receive routine care. …
Inotropic Effects of Vasopressin Versus Noradrenaline In Patients With Vasoplegic Syndrome After Cardiac Surgery
This is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial designed to compare the inotropic effects of vasopressin versus norepinephrine in patients who develop vasoplegic syndrome in the immediate postoperative period following cardiac surgery. Vasoplegic syndrome is characterized by severe hypotension due to systemic vasodilation, despite adequate fluid resuscitation and preserved or elevated …
