Filter by:The objective of this randomized control trial is to gain clinical insight on the use of POT PTCA balloon dilatation catheter for the optimal dilation after drug-eluting stent implantation.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of Ketorolac versus Paracetamol as an adjunct to Nalbuphine in the management of post-operative pain following elective cardiac surgery. STUDY DESIGN: Randomized (single-blind) control trial. SAMPLING TECHNIQUE: Computer generated, randomized selection of patients with 50% probability of assignment into either group. PLACE AND STUDY DURATION: (single center) SICU at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases Hospital, Karachi over a period of six months, from January 1, 2021 up to June 30, 2021. METHODS: Sixty patients (30 in each group) were randomly assigned to receive either Paracetamol (control) or Ketorolac (treatment), along with the usual Nalbuphine infusion, over the first 48 hours postoperatively. The control group received injection Paracetamol 1gm six hourly, whereas treatment group received injection Ketorolac 30mg eight hourly. PRIMARY OUTCOME: The VAS (pain score) was evaluated at 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours post-extubation and a score of 4 or less was taken as a cut-off for adequate pain control. SECONDARY OUTCOMES: The time taken to extubation postoperatively. The total dose of Nalbuphine administered to each patient and total chest tube drainage recorded over 48 hours postoperatively.
A routine physiotherapy program has been shown to be effective in the prevention and treatment of cardiopulmonary diseases. It also significantly increases functional capacity following coronary artery bypass grafting. However, the effect of a structured physiotherapy program in obese and non-obese patients has not been well explored. As such, the objective of this study is to determine the effect of a standardized physiotherapy program on pulmonary function and walking capacity in obese and non-obese patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. A prospective study was conducted on 50 obese and non-obese individuals who were schedule for coronary artery bypass grafting. Their body mass index was used to separate them into two groups. Both groups followed a structured physiotherapy program from day 1 to day 7 post cardiac surgery. Both groups underwent spirometry and a six-minute walk test at baseline (preoperatively) and after day 4 and day 7 postoperatively. The effect of physiotherapy program on pulmonary function and 6-MWT was assessed using an independent t-test. To estimate the percentage increase or decrease of pulmonary function and distance during 6-MWT for obese and non-obese groups, the percent difference between baseline and posttest data was calculated and compared using an independent t-test. When the normality test failed, the Mann Whitney U test and analysis of variance on rank were used. Chi-square test was used for gender distribution. The results were considered statistically significant if p ≤ 0.05.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass is a common surgical therapy for patients suffering from coronary artery diseases. The heart is subjected to a long period of ischemia due to the occlusion of the aorta. The heavy burden of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) thus induces cardiomyocyte death, which can paradoxically reduce the beneficial effect of CABG. Preconditioning by moderate hypoxia or hyperoxia serves as an effective drug-free method to increase the organism's resistance to negative effects, including IRI.
This study aims to investigate the effect of the pneumatic tourniquet technique on the patients' hemodynamics; heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP).
The broad, long-term objective of this pilot study is to develop an optimal, clinically usable, non-invasive evaluation of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in the setting of stable angina which provides both anatomic and functional information. Patients already scheduled to undergo Invasive coronary catheterization (ICA) for the clinical indication of angina will be recruited to under go stress-rest Positron Emission Tomography-Coronary CT Angiography-Fractional Flow Reserve (PET-cCTA-cFFR)
The purpose of this investigation is to see if the newly developed "iKOs™ microcatheter" can safely and accurately measure flow and pressure within the heart arteries of 10 patients undergoing angiogram and pressure wire tests.
Patients scheduled for cardiac surgery are fragile. Hemodynamic fluctuation might be associated with adverse outcomes. Therefore, it is essential to keep hemodynamics stable during and after the induction period. Previous studies have shown that topical anesthesia can provide excellent superior supraglottic and subglottic local anesthetic effects and can significantly reduce the dosage of intravenous anesthetics. Therefore, we designed this study to explore whether the combination of topical anesthesia and intravenous anesthetics could decrease the stress response of endotracheal intubation and keep hemodynamics stable during and after the induction period.
This study will collect initial clinical data on the CSI pVAD system to inform device design and finalization.
To determine the effects of exercise training on ankle-brachial index and Quality of Life in coronary artery disease patients after stenting. There is a need to develop strategies, not only to prevent restenosis but also to improve patients' functional status and perception of well-being. In particular, it is not well defined whether exercise training can reduce the restenosis rate and improve the outcome after percutaneous intervention (PCI), and its effects on the Ankle-brachial index are not yet well known.
