Filter by:The individualized drug use research on optimizing piperacillin tazobactam for CRRT of hospital-acquired pulmonary infection after cardiopulmonary bypass is still in the initial stage at home and abroad, lacking systematic research data. With the help of the population pharmacokinetic model, it can help clinicians to formulate individualized drug administration plans for such patients and provide methodological and data support for precise treatment. The rational use of piperacillin tazobactam will play an important role in reducing the use of carbapenems and curbing the occurrence of drug resistance.
POMTEVAR trial is a multicenter, open-label and prospective random controlled study. Approximately 158 patients will be randomly allocated to thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR) alone group or TEVAR plus methylprednisolone group and managed with respective treatment strategies. All study patients will be followed up in the outpatient clinic and undergo CT scans after 3 months from randomization. The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that PIS is lower in TEVAR plus methylprednisolone group than that in TEVAR alone group. The secondary objective is to test the hypothesis that changes of postoperative inflammatory indicators, incidence of postoperative acute renal failure and postoperative delirium, postoperative pain score are lower in TEVAR plus methylprednisolone group than that in TEVAR alone. In addition, 3-month all-cause death, 3-month major adverse cardiovascular events, 3-month aorta-related adverse events and 3-month aortic remodeling are compared between groups.
The investigators focus on the patients who underwent aortic root surgery for acute type A aortic dissection between 2005.01-2021.11. The patients are divided into 3 groups according to the different aortic root surgical methods(Bentall，David and root reconstruction). Clinical data including age, gender, comorbidities, surgical informations and perioperative informations will be collected. All patients will receive follow-ups in hospital or by telephone. All the informations will be analyzed by SPSS to show the difference of both perioperative and long-term results among different surgical strategies.
Aortic dissection (AD) is one of the most dangerous cardiovascular emergencies, with rapid onset, rapid progression, high fatality rate, and a variety of life-threatening complications. Acute lung injury (ALI) caused by AD is an important cause of many adverse outcomes. Studies have confirmed that 34.9% to 53.8% of AAD patients have ALI before surgery, and Impaired preoperative lung function may lead to worse oxygenation after AD surgery. The pathophysiological mechanism of AD-induced ALI is complex. A variety of preoperative and intraoperative risk factors can induce or aggravate ALI, such as ischemia-reperfusion injury, deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, and inflammatory reactions. At present, the clinical use of improved surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass perfusion, early anti-inflammatory treatment, and protective lung ventilation can reduce and improve perioperative ALI to a certain extent, but it is still not ideal. In recent years, inhibition of neutrophil activation and aggregation, and reduction of neutrophil elastase activity as targets for the treatment of inflammatory injury have also become an important clinical treatment measure, in order to further reduce the body's inflammatory response to improve and alleviate ALI. Sivelestat sodium, as a neutrophil elastase inhibitor, is the only approved therapeutic drug for ALI/ acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the world. It is precisely by reducing the inflammatory infiltration of neutrophils and inhibiting neutrophil elastase activity, thereby exerting a certain protective effect on the lungs. The study takes patients with AD surgery as the research object. On the basis of not terminating and changing the original treatment plans, sivelestat sodium was added in the perioperative period to observe the incidence, and severity of ALI/ARDS in the perioperative period. It aims to explore the efficacy and safety of sivelestat sodium in the treatment of pulmonary insufficiency after AD arch surgery under hypothermic circulatory arrest.
Spontaneous isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection(SISMAD) is an increasingly diagnosed disease. However, prospective, multicenter studies that can provide evidence to support clinical decisions are very limited. This study aims to compare the therapeutic efficacy of conservative and endovascular treatment for SISMAD.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication after aortic dissection (AD), and it is closely related to the inflammatory response associated with cardiopulmonary bypass. Hemoperfusion can reduce the level of systemic inflammatory response effectively in patients with sepsis. Some studies have tried to apply hemoperfusion to cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, and put forward the concept of "absorptive cardiopulmonary bypass", but there are few related research reports. The use of hemoperfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass can reduce the level of systemic inflammatory response, thereby reducing the risk of postoperative AKI and improving the prognosis of patients. The Cardiovascular Surgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiaotong University is one of the first demonstration units of "adsorption-type cardiopulmonary bypass" in China. Our previous retrospective analysis shown that intraoperative hemoperfusion can effectively reduce the occurrence of postoperative AKI in patients with AD, compared with traditional cardiopulmonary bypass. In addition, previous studies have found that the increased expression of CIRP after cardiopulmonary bypass can aggravate the oxidative stress and mitochondrial dynamics disorder in renal tubular epithelial cells, thereby inducing AKI. This project is a single-center randomized controlled study. It intends to investigate whether the application of hemoperfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass in patients with AD to reduce the level of systemic inflammatory response can reduce the incidence of postoperative AKI and improve the patient's discharge outcome. At the same time, exploratory studies were conducted to investigate whether hemoperfusion could effectively reduce the expression level of CIRP in the circulation. The successful implementation of this study can provide effective intervention methods and related theoretical basis for reducing the risk of AKI after aortic dissection.
Despite significant advances in perioperative care, major complications continue to be seen in patients undergoing major surgery. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are perioperative care practices designed to reduce perioperative complications, maintain preoperative organ function, and provide early recovery by reducing the psychological and physiological response to major surgery and the intense stress response that develops following surgery. In this context, ERAS protocols have been established for many surgical procedures. One is the thoracic ERAS (ERATS) protocol applied to thoracic surgery, and the evidence for ERATS is increasing; literature data support the application of ERATS. However, there are limited studies on the application of ERAS protocols to thoracic surgery, and more studies are needed to develop ERATS protocols. Postoperative complications may be reduced in patients who are treated with the ERAS protocol, their length of hospital stay (LOS) may be shortened, and patients may regain their initial functions faster. Objectively, a marker indicating whether the ERAS protocol can be implemented effectively has not yet been demonstrated. Reducing postoperative inflammation is thought to reduce LOS. Based on this, the investigators think that the early recovery seen in patients who undergo ERAS is due to the effect of ERAS protocols on the inflammatory process. Therefore, laboratory parameters such as C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte/monocytes ratio (LMR) may differ in patients who have undergone the ERAS protocol compared to patients who have not. These parameters have been evaluated comprehensively in studies as inflammatory parameters. In addition, clinical studies indicate that the C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) can be used as inflammatory and prognostic markers. Also, the investigators hypothesized that inflammatory parameters used in routine clinical follow-up may be effective in evaluating the clinical consequences of ERATS protocols. In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the effects of the ERATS protocol on postoperative inflammatory parameters and investigate whether these parameters have a role in evaluating the effectiveness of the ERATS protocol.
The ENDOBARC-S post-market clinical follow-up study is undertaken to evaluate the prevention of death related to aortic arch pathologies when treated by branch stent graft systems (Nexus stent-graft system®, Relay Branch® or Zenith arch branch graft®), with proximal landing at zone 0. The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety and clinical performance of the studied devices.
This study aims to compare the accuracy of the total thoracic fluid content (TFC) measured by electrical cardiometry with accuracy of lung ultrasound score in prediction of weaning outcome in mechanically ventilated patients.
This study intends to collect about 500 cases of blood samples from acute aortic dissection (AAD) and other acute chest pain diseases (eg, AMI, PE, or angina).The investigators tend to detect Raman metabolic profile of blood samples collected from AAD and other control groups using the Raman spectroscopy. The data collected will be analyzed and used to create a Raman database able to provide a classification model based on machine learning. The investigators then compared them with healthy participants to evaluate the diagnostic performance of different levels of Raman metabolic profile at discriminating AAD from other diagnoses and assess whether Raman metabolic profile is a potential novel biomarker for AAD under different circumstances.
