Anesthesia for Catheter Aortic Valve ImplantATIOn Registry
In modern cardiac surgery and cardiology Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) is an emerging procedure for high-risk patients that are assumed to be otherwise inoperable. The investigators want to evaluate the specific intraoperative anesthesiologic characteristics cardiac anesthesiologists have to face during these procedures.
Effect of Low-dose EsketaMine on dElirium in High-risk Elderly Patients uNdergoing elecTive Surgery (ELEMENT)
Delirium is an acutely occurred neurocognitive disorder characterized by fluctuating symptoms of inattention, altered consciousness and cognitive dysfunction. Delirium is reported to occur in 4% to 65% of postoperative patients depending on the population, and is especially common in older patients. Postoperative delirium is disturbing to patients and their families, …
Stress Echo 2030: the Novel ABCDE-(FGLPR) Protocol to Define the Future of Imaging
With stress echo (SE) 2020 study, a new standard of practice in stress imaging was developed and disseminated: the ABCDE protocol for functional testing within and beyond CAD. ABCDE protocol was the fruit of SE 2020, and is the seed of SE 2030, which is articulated in 12 projects: 1-SE …
Cardiac REhabilitation COhort at the Medicine Campus DaVos to invEstigate Recovery
The RECOVER study, titled Cardiac Rehabilitation Cohort at the Medicine Campus Davos for Exploration of Recovery, is a prospective, non-interventional, monocentric cohort study conducted at the Hochgebirgsklinik Davos. The study is sponsored by Medicine Campus Davos AG and the Kühne Foundation, with an estimated start date in July 2025 and …
Characterization of Patients With Cardiomyopathy to Identify Critical Patients Candidates for Cardiac Transplantation
The study aims to identify new diagnostic and prognostic markers for CMP that can help predict disease progression. In particular, the study will focus on microRNAs (miRNAs) and spatial transcriptomics, which are emerging techniques that may provide insights into the underlying disease mechanisms. By understanding these markers, the investigators hope …
Blood Velocity Variation in Right Renal and Superior Mesenteric Arteries During Cardio-pulmonary Bypass
The cardiopulmonary by-pass technique, used in cardiac surgery to obtain a bloodless operating field and an immobile heart, determines important effects on the blood vessel wall, especially when a continuous and non-continuous blood flow is used. In fact, a reduction in Nitric Oxide (NO) production by the endothelium, an increase …
Ultra Fast-Track vs Fast-Track Protocols in Off-Pump and Minimally Invasive Valve Cardiac Surgery
Fast-track cardiac anesthesia (FTCA) has gained significant popularity over the past decades due to its potential to reduce healthcare costs and optimize the use of medical resources. This approach has led anesthesiologists to reconsider the traditional model of cardiac anesthesia, known as Conventional Cardiac Anesthesia (CCA), which historically relied on …
Monitoring of Glycocalyx for Prediction of Complications After Cardiac Surgery
This is a prospective observational study of the evolution of the microcirculation and the sublingual glycocalyx in perioperative cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass. Our main objective is to evaluate the prognostic value of the variation of the thickness of the perioperative glycocalyx for the occurrence of a major complication in …
Study of the Relationship Between the Oxygenation State and Lung Ultrasound Score in Cardiac Surgery
After conventional cardiac surgery, many respiratory complications are possible. Therefore, the resuscitator prescribe physiotherapy and non invasive ventilation. The physiotherapist has few reliable tools to evaluate and follow the patient on his ventilatory function. Currently, lung ultrasound is little used in physiotherapy and no study explains the link between the …
Non-pharmacologial, Non-invassive Intervention Before Cardiac Surgery: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Perioperative neurological complications in cardiovascular surgical procedures are associated with a significant risk of mortality and disability. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if ischemic preconditioning and transcranial electrical stimulation to reduce perioperative neurological complications. It will also learn about the safety of remote ischemic preconditioning and …
