Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury in Children Undergoing Major Non-cardiac Surgery
This project aims to conduct an international, prospective, multicentre, observational study to determine the incidence of Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury (PO-AKI) in hospitalized children after noncardiac surgery. Urinary biomarkers are intended to be evaluated as predictors of PO-AKI in the same subjects. The study employs modern standardized classifications for AKI …
Colchicine in Patients at Cardiac Risk Undergoing Major Non-Cardiac Surgery
Perioperative myocardial injury and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) are common causes of morbidity and mortality in patients at increased cardiovascular risk undergoing non-cardiac surgery. However, research in recent years has yielded limited preventive and therapeutic measures for myocardial injury/MACE. Recent studies in patients with chronic and acute coronary artery …
Database of Tissue Samples to Understand the Inflammatory Response After Cardiac Surgery
The aim of this study is to collect non-individual related blood samples for the compelling of a unique database of tissue samples to understand the inflammatory responds after cardiac surgery on an on-going basis. This includes especially protein analyses and genetic testing for certain neurotransmitters in the blood and tissues …
The Effect of Retrograde Autologous Priming on Transfusion Requirements After Cardiac Surgery
The TheRAPy vanguard trial is a multicentre, multiple period randomized, cluster crossover vanguard trial testing the feasibility of a full-scale trial to evaluate whether a centre-based policy of routine use of RAP versus a policy of crystalloid priming reduces RBC transfusion for patients undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass. It …
Effect of Colchicine on Perioperative Anti-inflammatory Organ Injury in Cardiac Surgery
All patients will be completed collection of demographic data, clinical data, and be observed for inflammatory organ damage, oxygenation index or SpO2/ FIO2, WBC, NEU, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, interleukin-8 (IL-1β/6/8), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), myoglobin (Myo), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), neutrophil elastase …
The Direct Oral Anticoagulation Versus Vitamin K Antagonist After Cardiac Surgery Trial
The DANCE Trial is a multi-centre, randomized controlled trial comparing the safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) versus vitamin K antagonists (VKA) in the early period (30 days) after cardiac surgery in patients with atrial fibrillation requiring oral anticoagulation.
Towards a Sex-specific "Female Enhanced Recovery After Cardiac Surgery'' (F-ERAS) Pathway:
The aim of this study is to evaluate the differences between men and women undergoing cardiac surgery. We will look at perioperative factors such as body weight, body surface area, previous medical history, pharmacokinetics, transfusion, coagulation, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) related factors, cardiac function, inotropic requirements, risk, and outcome scores as …
Noradrenaline Versus Standard Blood Pressure Management for Perioperative Hypotension in Non-cardiac Surgery
The effect of noradrenaline infusion versus standard blood pressure management on perioperative HYPotension in NOn-caRdiac surgery. The study aims to determine whether perioperative noradrenaline infusion is superior to standard blood pressure management for the occurrence of perioperative hypotension.
Can Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Safely Discontinue Anticoagulant Therapy After Cardiac Surgery? (ATLAAC)
Left atrial appendage (LAA) closure has become a frequent addition to oral anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation who undergo cardiac surgery. The procedure significantly reduces the risk of stroke and systemic embolism, which may render anticoagulation unnecessary or even harmful when considering the associated increased risk of bleeding. A …
Effect of Left Ventricle Diastolic Dysfunction on Outcomes in Female Cardiac Surgery Patients
The aim of this study is to evaluate the differences between males and females with LVDD, undergoing cardiac surgery. The investigators will look at perioperative factors such as body weight, body surface area, previous medical history, cardiac function measured by amongst others, transoesophageal echocardiography and haemodynamic parameters, transfusion, coagulation, cardiopulmonary …
