PROMISE: Percutaneous peRipheral cannulatiOn for Minimally-InvaSive Heart Valve surgEry
In addition to conventional heart valve surgery (HVS) via full-sternotomy, which is still the most prevalent therapeutic strategy to address valvular heart disease (VHD), minimally-invasive approaches evolved as safe alternatives, resulting in lower postoperative ventilation times, transfusion rates and shorter in-hospital stay. Femoral artery cannulation is traditionally performed via surgical …
Remote Ischemic Preconditioning for Aute Type A Aortic Dissection Surgery
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a technique called remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) helps protect organs during emergency surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does RIPC reduce the risk of major complications after surgery, such as …
Decolonization to Reduce After-Surgery Events of Surgical Site Infection
The DECREASE SSI Trial (Decolonization to Reduce After-Surgery Events of Surgical Site Infection) is a two-arm multi-center individual placebo-controlled randomized (2,700 participants randomized 1:1) clinical trial to reduce post-discharge surgical site infection following open colon or small bowel surgery by comparing chlorhexidine bathing plus nasal mupirocin in the 30 days …
Intraoperative Blood Pressure Management and Dexamethasone in Lung Cancer Surgery
Surgery is the front-line therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) but postoperative complications remains high and patients' long-term outcome is still challenging. In addition to surgery, anesthetic management particularly intraoperative blood pressure management and use of dexamethasone may affect patients' early and long-term outcomes after surgery for NSCLC. This …
Effect of Obesity, Diabetes and Bariatric Surgery on Pregnancy Outcomes
The obesity epidemic is growing worldwide and in the UK this is perpetuated with a third of women classified as overweight/obese in 2020. Many of these woman are of childbearing age and go on to have high risk pregnancies which are often complicated by gestational or pre-existing (type 2 diabetes …
An Evaluation of LASIK, SMILE and PRK Surgery in Physicians
The principle investigator is evaluating self-reported quality of vision and quality of life in physicians undergoing LASIK, SMILE and PRK surgery.
The Relationship Between Blood Flow Readings During Surgery and How Well the Graft Stays Open and How Patients Recover Afterward in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
The purpose of this study is to learn more about a tool called Transit-Time Flow Measurement (TTFM). TTFM uses sound waves during surgery to check how well blood is flowing through blood vessels. This helps doctors see if the blood flow is good during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), which …
Nitric Oxide for Reduced Intensive Support in Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Cardiac surgery is a procedure that is commonly performed worldwide. Despite these technological advances, cardiac surgery remains a high-risk surgery. Among post-operative complications, acute kidney injury, respiratory failure, myocardial infarction, and stroke as well as cognitive dysfunction are significant causes of mortality in patients undergoing and following cardiac surgery. Inhaled …
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 …
Comparing Analgesic Regimen Effectiveness and Safety for Surgery for Kids Trial
This trial is being completed to compare two commonly used options to treat pain after discharge from surgery. Participants that undergo tonsil removal, gallbladder removal, and knee scope will be eligible to enroll. Eligible participants will be randomized to prescription of 1 of 2 groups of medications (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs …
