NCT ID: NCT05968456 Recruiting - Anesthesia Clinical Trials

Complexity and Frailty in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia (CAfCA). Prospective Multicentric Observational Study

CAfCA
Start date: October 10, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Frailty is a multidimensional syndrome characterized by a decline in physiological homeostatic reserve, which translates into an increased susceptibility to adverse events and unfavorable outcomes following even small exposures to physical, physiological or psychosocial stress. In the European population up to 69 years, the prevalence is generally 6,5%, beyond 85 years of age it exceeds 50% and reaches 65% in the over-ninety population. The prevalence of frailty in the surgical population varies, depending on the studies, from 10 to 40%. Frailty and its severity grade represent themselves noticeably as strong predictors of adverse postoperative outcomes. The strongest evidence of association is recorded between frailty and mortality at 30 days. The purpose of this study is to describe the characteristics of patients undergoing anesthesia for cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, with a specific focus on frailty elements and associated comorbidities that necessitate surgery. This data analysis will provide valuable insights into the interaction between frailty, multimorbidity, and the perioperative pathway of patients undergoing cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia.

A Trial to Assess the Impact of Ascorbic Acid on Cardiac Surgeries Outcomes and Complications''

Start date: April 15, 2018
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

this study is evaluating the safety and efficacy of ascorbic acid as a drug that can decrease inflammatory complications post surgical in addition to its impact on decreasing risk of arrhythmia and total opioid administration post operative

NCT ID: NCT02863250 Recruiting - Trauma Clinical Trials

Australian and New Zealand Massive Transfusion Registry

ANZ-MTR
Start date: March 2011
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Severe and un-stopped blood loss can occur for a number of different reasons including after a serious injury, delivery of a baby and following other medical and surgical emergencies. The investigators understanding of how to best treat people with serious bleeding is still incomplete, with many questions remaining. These include questions regarding how many people have serious bleeding events, what happens to them and the best way to treat them. The Massive Transfusion Registry (MTR) is a register of patients who have experienced major blood loss that required a massive transfusion in any clinical setting. The MTR uses electronic data extraction and data linkage methodologies. Pre-existing clinical data from hospital data sources, including Laboratory Information Systems (for transfusion history and laboratory results) and Health Information Services databases (for Patient demographics and admission data), are electronically extracted by staff employed at the participating hospitals. The data is then sent to the MTR Research Team, located at Monash University, where it is then linked, analysed and stored. The establishment of a Massive Transfusion Registry will be a unique and important resource for clinicians in Australia, New Zealand and internationally, for Blood Services and for the broader community. It will provide valuable observational data regarding the types and frequency of conditions associated with critical bleeding requiring massive transfusion, the use of blood component therapy (i.e. ratios and quantities of different types of red cell to non- red cell components) and patient outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT02029534 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Cardiothoracic Surgery

Intensive Statin Therapy Effect on Post-Operative Atrial Fibrillation (POAF)

Start date: August 2013
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This study will compare the effects of 20 mg of atorvastatin to 80 mg of atorvastatin for the prevention of atrial fibrillation after cardiothoracic surgery. The study hypothesis is that 80 mg of atorvastatin will be more effective at preventing atrial fibrillation compared to 20 mg.
