Intravenous Fish Oil Based Lipid Emulsion to Enhance Recovery in High-Risk Cardiac Surgery Patients
The MODIFY CSX study is a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trial conducted in heart centers in Germany and Italy. A total of 550 high-risk cardiac surgery patients will receive either 0.20 g fish oil/kg body weight (BW) + standard of care versus same volume of placebo (NaCl) + standard of care.
Dexamethasone, Olanzapine, Hemodynamics, and Ventilation in Cardiac Surgery
Open heart surgery, including coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and/or aortic valve replacement (AVR) is associated with a significant risk of mortality. This study is a randomized clinical trial with the purpose of investigating four different interventions on the primary endpoint 'days alive and outside of hospital within 90 days'. …
SEx-specific Differences in Cardiac Surgery Patients (SECS).
The aim of this study is to evaluate the differences between females and males undergoing cardiac surgery. The investigators will look at perioperative factors such as adaption of body weight, previous medical history, pharmacokinetics, transfusion, coagulation, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) related factors, cardiac function, inotropic requirements, risk, and outcome scores as …
MiECC Versus Conventional Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Cardiac Surgery (MiECS)
MiECS is one of the largest multicentre randomised controlled trials on extracorporeal circulation conducted under the auspices of Minimal Invasive Extracorporeal Technologies International Society (MiECTiS). It is designed to ultimately address the emerging effectiveness of MiECC systems in the light of modern perfusion practice worldwide. The primary hypothesis is that …
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 …
Medtronic SYMBIOSIS Post-Market Registry for Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
The purpose of this observational, multi-center prospective, post-market registry is to confirm real-world device safety and performance, to ensure the continued acceptability of identified risks, and detect emerging risks.
Identification of Genomic Predictors of Adverse Events After Cardiac Surgery
This study aims to identify genetic causes of adverse events after cardiac surgery, such as atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, renal dysfunction and heart failure. Patients undergoing heart surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Texas Heart Institute are eligible to participate.
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 …
