Evaluation of Preoperative Anxiety Level Based on the Day of Admission for Cardiac Surgery
Prospective, observational, non-randomized study that evaluates the impact of the admission day (J-1 vs J-0) on preoperative anxiety in cardiac surgery patients.
Serratus Posterior Superior Plane Block for Postoperative Pain in Cardiac Surgery
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of bilateral serratus posterior superior intercostal plane (SPSIP) block on postoperative acute pain and opioid consumption in patients undergoing on-pump open-heart surgery. Postoperative outcomes including pain scores, cumulative morphine use, quality of recovery, and opioid-related side effects will be evaluated …
Prevention Atrial Fibrillation by BOTulinum Toxin Injections (BOTAF)
Over the past few years, research has focused on the prevention of atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardiac surgery, but highly effective interventions are still missing. Postoperative AF remains the most common complication after cardiac surgery, with an incidence of 10 to 50%. This complication is usually a transient condition that …
A Study Protocol for Research Investigating How Geriatric Risk Assessment and Shared Decision-making Conversations Affect Treatment Decisions and Quality of Life in Patients Eligible for Open-heart Surgery.
The goal of this study is to determine whether intervention by the PRIME clinic influences cardiac treatment decisions, as well as patients quality of life and healthcare utilization. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does PRIME consultation influence treatment recommendations? Does a personalized treatment plan for cardiac …
Post-operative Intravenous Iron to Treat Iron-deficiency Anemia in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
POAM is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, internal pilot trial, using a conventional, parallel group, two-armed design at 3 cardiac surgery centres in Canada. The study is designed to assess the feasibility of a future, definitive RCT investigating whether, in patients with chronic iron-deficiency anemia undergoing cardiac surgery, IV iron therapy …
Effect of Stellate Ganglion Block on Arterial Catheterization Complications in Selected Group of Patients Undergoing Elective Cardiac Surgeries
Radial artery catheterization is the usual method for invasive monitoring in cardiac surgeries. Although it is relatively safe, complications do happen. Hematoma and ischemia are well known complications. Also, radial-to-femoral arterial pressure gradient (RFAPG) post bypass is a common event which affect management of a critical patient in a critical …
Consistency of Carotid Doppler Blood Flow and Thermodilution Technique
Currently, the gold standard method to estimate CO is the thermodilution technique, pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) and PiCCO system included, however, the invasiveness and complexity of the thermodilution technique have limited their usefulness in many clinical scenarios. By measuring the carotid blood flow, continuous carotid doppler technique has been reported …
Transversus Thoracic Muscle Plane Block Versus Pectointercostal Fascial Block for Enhanced Recovery After Cardiac Surgery
This work aims to assess the analgesic efficacies of transversus thoracic muscle plane block (TTPB) and transversus thoracic muscle plane block (TTPB) for open cardiac surgeries
Pilot Study Evaluating the Advantages of Sucrosomial® Iron Post-operative Supplementation vs Standard of Care After Cardiac Surgery
Primary objective: to evaluate the non-inferiority in terms of improvement of hemoglobin (Hg) levels within 30 days postoperatively between two proposed treatments. Secondary objective: to evaluate the financial costs associated with Sucrosomial® Iron treatment compared to Iron Sucrose (IV), while demonstrating non-inferiority in the improvement of hemoglobin levels, reduction in …
Nociception Monitoring During Cardiac Surgery
Cardiac surgery is frequently a source of acute or chronic pain. According to the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), nociception is defined as "the neural mechanisms of encoding and processing harmful stimuli," while pain is defined as "an undesirable sensory and emotional experience associated with real tissue …
