Filter by:Retrospective collection of Wuhan Union hospital from December 1,2018 to June 30,2021 to meet the entry and discharge standards. The patient 's medical record data were divided into study group and control group according to the use of gastrodin during operation. The perioperative data and prognostic outcomes in the patient 's medical records were collected and analyzed. The degree of myocardial injury and postoperative clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups.
In this study, we aim to compare the core temperature measured with two noninvasive ZHF thermometers and a urinary bladder thermometer against a gold standard blood temperature measured in the pulmonary artery in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery. Additionally we intend to compare the reproducibility of the ZHF measurements by using two devices simultaneously in each patient.
Pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Also score systems for risk factors, such as Risk Adjustment for Congenital Heart surgery (RACHS 1) score or the ARISTOTLE score, have been developed, outcome prediction remains difficult. New mathematical methods using deep neural networks associated with Bayesian statistical methods have been developed to give a better understanding of the complex interaction between different risk factors, to identify risk factors and group them in related families. This method has been successfully used to predict mortality in dialysis patient as well as to better describe complex psychiatric syndromes. The primary hypothesis of this study is that the use of these tools will give a better understanding on the factors affecting outcome after pediatric cardiac surgery. A network analysis using Gaussian Graphical Models, Mixed Graphical models and Bayesian networks will be used to identify single or groups of risk factors for morbidity and mortality after pediatric cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass.
Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death for the healthcare system and cardiac surgery has an important impact on their resolubility. Healthcare systems in the world have evolved to optimize their clinical records and thus learn from the real world through the interactivity between results, processes, and structure. When the rate of growth of healthcare costs scenario is greater than the one of Gross Domestic Product of countries, there is a considerable challenge to increment the quality of healthcare services and the primordial patient safety, as well as the necessary control and traceability of implantable devices. The association and correlation of patients' demographic and clinically relevant information with the resources required for the care provided for each stratum represent the possibility to adapt, improve and innovate the healthcare programs; This will allow improving the optimization of the therapeutic protocols and the creation of related research areas, aiming to promote more equitable resources allocation, increase access and effectiveness, as well as to ascertain the magnitude of available and used resources and its impact.
Pediatric cardiac surgery has a relatively high morbi-mortality. Despite great advances in surgical techniques, today the mortality rate is about 3% and morbidity is about 30-40%. Outcome has been related to demographic factors, like age; peroperative factors, like duration of cardiopulmonary bypass as well as postoperative factors like positive fluid balance. Willems et al defined a new score (MODS2), an outcome score combining either patient's death or a high postoperative morbidity. This morbidity is defined as minimum of 2 organ failures: either respiratory insufficiency, prolonged use of inotropic agents or renal insufficiency. The aim of this study is to identify pre and peroperative factors which are predictors of MODS2. Patients operated between 2008 and 2018 for pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass will be included. Variables extracted from our database will be: sex, ASA score, cyanotic cardiac pathology, redo surgery, RACH1 score, use of antifibrinolytic agents, aortic cross-clamping, deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, selective cerebral perfusion, red cell transfusion in the operating room, administration of fresh frozen plasma in the operating room, age, preoperative weight, weight difference between preop weight and weight at postop day 2, emergency surgery, duration of aortic cross clamping, duration of selective cerebral perfusion, duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, duration off deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, duration of surgery, minimal core temperature, cardiopulmonary priming volume, calculated hemodilution, use of red blood cells in the cardiopulmonary bypass priming, preoperative hemoglobin, preoperative hematocrit, preoperative platelet count, preop international normalized ratio, preop fibrinogen, preop creatinin, toal fluid balance, blood loss during surgery. A statistical analysis (see detailed description) will be used to establish a prediction model for MODS2. The variables describing best the MODS2 outcome will be retained.
This study compares the effect of three different dose levels of tranexamic acid（TXA）in reducing blood loss and transfusion requirements in cardiac valve surgery.
The insertion of central venous catheters (CVCs) has become an integral part of management of a critically ill patient. Access to the central vein may be required for the administration of hyper osmotic or vasoactive compounds, parenteral nutrition, and rapid infusion of large volumes of fluid or for the continuous or intermittent monitoring of biochemical or physiological parameters. Central venous catheter insertion is also indicated when the insertion of a peripheral line is not possible. Traditionally, CVC insertions have been performed using the landmark technique. Considering the number of CVCs being inserted every day, this can amount to a large number of complications. Efforts to minimize and prevent the occurrence of complications should be a routine component of quality improvement programs. There is an increasing body of evidence supporting the use of ultrasound guidance for CVC placement. This makes the strong rationale to conduct this research thus the aim of this study is to evaluate the real benefits i.e outcome of Long versus Short Axis ultrasound guided approach for internal jugular vein cannulation in the patient for elective cardiac surgery as central venous cannulation (CVC).
This study aims to investigate whether preoperative soluble urokinase plasminogen activating receptor (suPAR) and High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) are independent markers of death after cardiac surgery. Further, to assess whether suPAR and hsCRP provides increased predictive accuracy of the clinical risk model EuroSCORE II. The purpose of the study is to gain knowledge on whether these inflammatory biomarkers might be able to reveal a pro-inflammatory disease state that represents a significant risk in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery. Hence, these biomarkers may assist clinicians in selecting compassionate treatment for high risk patients.
The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of bra application as a prevention of dehiscence in women with median sternotomy.
The purpose of this research study is to compare the amount of morphine milligram equivalents consumed post operatively until discharge between the control cohort and intervention cohort.
