Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare telehealth monitoring at home against usual care in patients undergoing planned heart surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can telehealth improve quality of life prior to surgery 2. Can telehealth prevent serious deterioration requiring hospital or primary care attendance Participants awaiting heart surgery will be randomly allocated to either telehealth remote monitoring of symptoms, blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels and activity levels or they will be allocated to usual care which is unmonitored on the waiting list for surgery. Researchers will compare telehealth to usual care to see if it improves quality of life or prevents deteriorations on the waiting list.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients on elective cardiac surgery waiting lists can deteriorate, presenting via acute services as urgent inpatients as a result of their decompensation and facing increased surgical risk. With increases in waiting times prevalent through the country, and healthcare resources under pressure from Covid-related backlogs, it is imperative to find ways to monitor and escalate the most vulnerable patients and to provide safe methods of providing healthcare interventions outside conventional hospital settings. Remote monitoring identifies patients at need, and allows tertiary-care led interventions to prevent deterioration in the first instance. Such facilities could also enhance recovery following treatment and reduce the risks of complications and readmissions post-operatively. The benefits and risks of such programmes is, however, not well understood: additional monitoring may increase the burden of responsibility on patients or monitoring facilities without providing additional safeguards to the patient. The advantages of early detection may not translate into improved outcomes and the onus on the patient to report in may reduce quality of life rather than enhance it. The researchers therefore seek to identify if telehealth monitoring can improve health related quality of life, reduce unplanned admissions and healthcare resource utilisation and enhance pre-habilitation using protocolised patient engagement facilities to reduce complications and improve risk-stratification metrics such as smoking status, diabetic control and BMI. ;
