Filter by:Background. Cardiovascular diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The management of these patients requires multidisciplinary therapeutic approaches. Physiotherapy plays a fundamental role in the postoperative management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Objective: To analyse the relationship between the administration of a physiotherapy intervention and the time spent in the cardiac ICU and on the ward. Method. Retrospective cohort study. The medical records of 110 patients undergoing cardiac surgery who received a Physiotherapy intervention during their stay in the Intensive Care Unit will be analysed. Data will be collected from patients admitted to the cardiac ICU in 2023. The variables assessed will be: length of stay in ICU and hospital admission (days), age (years completed), weight (kg) and sex. A one-factor analysis of variance will be performed to calculate the association between the variables and a linear regression analysis will be used to describe the hospital stay variables as a function of the other predictor variables. Expected outcomes. Physiotherapy treatment in an Intensive Care Unit improves ICU and hospital stay times in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
This is a single-center, multi-ICU prospective observational trial evaluating current nutritional practice and its influence of the physical function of critically ill patients.
The study aims to investigate the effect of pre-anesthetic education on patients undergoing cardiac surgery
The bispectral index (BIS) is derived from a single-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) and provides information on the anaesthetic depth. Recently, a bilateral two-channel EEG-sensor has been introduced to monitor the BIS on both cerebral hemispheres. In some patients significant left-right differences may occur, whereas no relevant side differences are expected in the majority of patients. The aim of this study is to - investigate the incidence, duration and degree of left-right BIS differences - examine the relation between BIS differences and occurrence of cognitive deficits
Randomized controlled trial to compare blood glucose control by the model predictive control algorithm with variable sampling rate (eMPC) with routine glucose management protocol (RMP) in peri- and postoperative period in cardiac surgery patients.
