Interventions for Silent Brain Infarction and Perioperative Neurocognitive Disorders in Cardiovascular Surgery
the purpose of the study is to investigate whether a combined anesthetic targets bundle, known as the NeuroFirst strategy, focused on neurological protection, can reduce the incidence of silent brain infarction (SBI) and perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Additionally, the trial will assess the safety of …
Personalized Activity Intervention in Rehabilitation After Cardiac Operations (the PACO Trial)
The PACO trial is a randomized clinical trial conducted in Heart Centers of Kuopio and Turku university hospitals. The coronary artery disease, aortic valve stenosis and mitral valve insufficiency patients preparing for elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aortic valve replacement (AVR) or mitral valve repair (MVR) will be randomized …
Nitric Oxide for Reduced Intensive Support in Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Cardiac surgery is a procedure that is commonly performed worldwide. Despite these technological advances, cardiac surgery remains a high-risk surgery. Among post-operative complications, acute kidney injury, respiratory failure, myocardial infarction, and stroke as well as cognitive dysfunction are significant causes of mortality in patients undergoing and following cardiac surgery. Inhaled …
Evaluation of Clinical Impact of the Type of Cardioplegia Used in the Patient Undergoing Major Cardiac Surgery.
Phase IV clinical trial of a single-blind, prospective and longitudinal randomized intervention comparing patients undergoing major cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation who are administered Custodiol crystalloid cardioplegia versus Buckberg blood cardioplegia.
Transfusion Requirements in Younger Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
TRICS-IV is an international, multi-centre, open-label randomized controlled trial of two commonly used transfusion strategies in moderate to high risk patients who are 65 years of age or younger undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass, using a superiority trial design.
Pericardiotomy in Cardiac Surgery
PRINCE is an international, multicentre, randomized controlled trial of posterior pericardiotomy in patients without a history of atrial fibrillation (AF) or flutter undergoing cardiac surgery.
Sigh Ventilation in Cardiac Surgery
The purpose of this trial is to investigate whether sigh ventilation strategy, combining sigh breaths, low tidal volume, and moderate PEEP levels, protects against major pulmonary complications within the first 7 postoperative days after cardiac surgery, as compared with conventional ventilation strategy with low tidal volume, and moderate PEEP levels.
Desflurane vs. Propofol for Cardiac Anesthesia
To investigate whether the inhaled anesthetic desflurane, compared with propofol, exerts cardioprotective effects and reduces the incidence of severe postoperative major cardiac events in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Intravenous Acetaminophen After Cardiac Surgery - Definitive Study
Double blind, double dummy trial of the use of IV acetaminophen versus oral acetaminophen for the prevention of delirium after cardiac surgery. The underlying hypothesis is that better pain control and less use of narcotics will lead to a lower incidence of delirium from day 1 to 7 following cardiac …
Postoperative Delirium in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
Establish a follow-up database for postoperative delirium in cardiac surgery patients, adopt a bidirectional cohort design to simultaneously analyze the associations between "preoperative exposure factors and postoperative delirium incidence" and "postoperative delirium and long-term adverse outcomes", and clarify the predictive factors and prognostic impacts of postoperative delirium.
