Comparison of Cardiac Index and Stroke-volume-index Measured by Pulmonary Artery Catheter, FloTrac® and Argos® in Cardiac Surgery Patients.
A comparison of cardiac performance determined by stroke-volume-index measured by different mechanisms in patients during and after cardiac surgery: Pulmonary artery catheter Flo Trac Argos Monitor Investigations will be done in theater and on ICU in ventilated and spontaneously breathing patients.
The Predictive Value of Doppler Based Renal Ultrasound and Urinary Oxygen Tension for Prediction of Acute Kidney Injury After Open Heart Surgery
This study aims to investigate the predictive value of Doppler-based renal ultrasound and urinary oxygen tension in the development of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery.
Randomized, Single-blind Pilot Study Assessing the Effect of Cutaneous RESonance Stimulation SYMPAthetic and Parasympathetic Tone and Anxiety in Patients Admitted for Cardiac Surgery
Anxiety is a natural response to stress which peaks just before the surgery procedure. High levels of anxiety can increase postoperative pain and complications. Medicated anxiolysis is no longer recommended, in the absence of proven efficacy. Other interventions to prevent anxiety are required. The autonomic nervous system (ANS), both sympathetic …
Propranolol Treatment for Postoperative Chylothorax
Postoperative chylothorax is a serious complication after open heart surgery for pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). While it was thought to be mechanical injury to the thoracic duct, recent research demonstrated that there are intrinsically abnormal lung lymphatics in CHD patients, and after open heart surgery, the fluid …
Lung Ultrasound-guided Hemodynamic Optimization
The formalized expert recommendation of the French Society of Anesthesia and Intensive Care recommends guiding vascular filling by measuring the stroke volume (SV) in surgical patients considered at high risk. Vascular filling should be continued in the event of preload dependence and stopped in the event of the appearance of …
A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of BX-001N in Preventing Cardiac Surgery-Associated Acute Kidney Injury (CSA-AKI) and Major Adverse Kidney Events (MAKE)
This is a Randomized, Single-blind, Multi-center, Placebo-controlled, Phase 2a clinical trial of BX-001N to prevent patients from Cardiac Surgery Associated Acute Kidney Injury (CSA-AKI) and subsequent Major Adverse Kidney Events (MAKE) in approximately 40 participants.
Objective Measurement of the Mechanical Pain Threshold With an Algometer for Predicting Intraoperative Opioid Consumption in Patients Who Will be Operate by Thoracotomy and Sternotomy in Cardiac Surgery
The study aims to test the relationship between the preoperative pain threshold and the intraoperative need for opioids. The objective of the study is to try to predict a patient's analgesic needs based on their objectively determined preoperative pain threshold. The investigators will include patients scheduled for elective cardiovascular surgery. …
IMPact of Donor Heart Function on Recipient Outcomes - a prospectiVE Study to Increase the Utilization of Donor HEARTs
Severe heart failure is a diagnosis with a very poor prognosis. Heart transplantation is the best treatment for terminal heart failure but this type of treatment is limited by the number of available organs. About 20-25% of possible donor hearts are not considered for transplantation because they have some form …
The Evolution of Systemic Microvascular Reactivity in Heart Transplant Patients
The evolution of systemic microvascular reactivity may aid in the comprehension of cardiovascular physiology in heart transplantation patients, and possibly suggest the non-invasive evaluation of skin microcirculation as an ancillary tool in the clinical evaluation of these patients.
Belatacept in De Novo Heart Transplantation
The purpose of this study is to determine if Belatacept is safe to give to adult heart transplant recipients. Belatacept (NULOJIX) is an anti-rejection medication that is available through a prescription from a doctor. In this research study, belatacept is being used in an investigational manner (not for the purpose …
