Filter by:Multicenter prospective observational study, involving all adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation
After obtaining approval from the Institutional Review Board of our institution, written informed consent is obtained from patients undergoing cardiac surgery are enrolled in this prospective study and randomly allocated into one of two groups: Group-C (n=15) and Group-HES (n=15). All recruited patients will be given patient identification number (PIN) for the present study of 01-30 according to their order of interview and recruitment. Investigators will prepare 15 yellow and 15 green cards, which will be inserted in 30 thick-paper envelopes. Then, all envelopes will be sealed, mixed and randomly allocated to get numbers of 01 to 30 (Envelop number). After printing the envelope number outside envelope, all sealed envelopes with cards will be conveyed to and kept in pharmacy department. According to the color of the card, attending anesthesiologists will give crystalloid for yellow card or HES for green cards, respectively, to maintain stroke volume variation < 15 during volume controlled ventilation (8 ml/kg tidal volume) of O2/air mixture. Patient data and statistical analyses: Patient's data whole blood viscosity, PaO2, FiO2, Hemoglobin, urine amount, s-glucose will be determined from the patients' medical record after patient's discharge. All statistical analyses will be performed after the 30th patient's discharge and data acquisition
Respiratory dysfunction following cardiac surgery is well documented and due in part to the location of the incision and nature of the surgery. Post-operative pulmonary complications (PPCs) remain a significant problem following cardiac surgery, sometimes causing prolonged length of stay in hospital as well as increased morbidity and mortality; with the greater risk to older adults and individuals with obstructive lung disease. Positive expiratory pressure (PEP) therapy is thought to increase lung volumes and facilitate secretion clearance. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the addition of oscillating PEP therapy to standard postoperative treatment is more effective in decreasing the incidence of PPCs and increasing functional capacity at time of discharge in 'high risk' patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.
The aims of the present study are to evaluate the information obtained by the EarlySenese monitoring system and examine correlation of the obtained data and clinical events.
The investigators sought to determine whether intensive insulin therapy can improve prognosis of infants undergoing cardiac surgery.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between rewarming rate during cardiopulmonary bypass and clinical prognosis in infants undergoing cardiac surgery.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between serum adiponectin and clinical prognosis in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
the purpose of this study is to determine whether children who are hospitalised waiting for cardiac surgery for several days in pediatric or pediatric surgery department acquire resistant microbial flora, thus necessitating broad spectrum antibiotics for perioperative prophylaxis.
Cognitive and neurological dysfunction after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) is common and multi-factorial in origin. Several previous studies have shown that intraoperative aprotinin administration may be neuroprotective.in the current prospective randomized study, the effect of intraoperative aprotinin administration on the integrity of the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer will be examined. Optical coherance tomography will be used to examin the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer.
