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 …
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 …
Effects of Preparatory Information on Anxiety and Treatment Adherence in Heart Surgery Patients
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of providing information to prepare for ICU stay in patients after heart surgery on anxiety and cooperative behaviors. The main questions it aims to answer are: Are the anxiety levels before and after receiving prepared information video (VDO) and …
Efficacy of Ultrasound Guided PIFB Versus Lidocaine Infusion on Postoperative Pain After Thoracotomy
Chronic pain is a common complication after cardiothoracic surgery. The prevalence of post-thoracotomy pain syndrome (PTPS) ranges from 33% to 91%. Exact pathogenetic mechanisms for developing chronic pain after thoracotomy are unknown. Apart from intraoperative nerve damage and subsequent postoperative neuropathic pain, operation techniques, age, sex, pre-existing pain, genetic and …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
