Filter by:The study will investigate possible effects of music therapy as an adjunct in an invasive cardiac procedure where infected or broken pacemaker leads, or leads from implantable cardioverter-defibrillators are removed from inside the heart through the vein. The procedure is performed in local anaesthesia with the patient awake. Analgesic and anxiolytic drugs are given at the start of the procedure, and repeated if needed. In spite of the drugs, most patients will experience som degree of pain and/or anxiety and increased stress during the procedure. The music therapy intervention contains individually facilitated music listening and coping techniques, aiming to regulate stress responses. The music listening and guidance is provided by a certified music therapist before, during and after the invasive procedure.
THALES-EVAQUAL study assesses the quality of the images generated by C-ARM ARCO FP-Rk521S and its ability to be used during surgery.
Cardiac surgery is sometimes associated with organ dysfunction of variable severity (renal insufficiency, cognitive decline, arrhythmias, ARDS). The phenomenon responsible is an intense inflammatory reaction induced by cardiopulmonary bypass, leading to microcirculation alterations, specially in endothelial cell and its protective layer - glycocalyx. Endothelial dysfunction then reduces the reactivity of peripheral tissues to hypoxia, and is associated with bad prognosis. High - dose corticoids administration at anesthesia induction in cardiac surgery could attenuate the intensity of this inflammatory reaction, and represents the current practice in our hospital. Nevertheless, this attitude is abandoned in numerous cardiac surgery centres.
