Official title: Paresthesia in Hand and Antebrachium Following CardiacSurgery: Incidence, Risk Factors and Clinical Course

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

To describe the incidence and severity of Paresthesia in Hand and Antebrachium in patients that have undergone CardiacSurgery.

Clinical Trial Description

Some patients report tingling and/or numbness in hand and/or antebrachium after cardiac surgery, but potential risc factors and clinical course are not well described, and the incidence or severity is not known. Many factors may impact on the development of these complaints: age, BMI, pre-operative neurological deficits, diabetes, type, technique and duration of cardiac surgery, positioning of arms and hands during surgery, placement of the arterial line, time-to-extubation and post-operative positioning during this period. The investigators aim to describe incidence and clinical course of these complaints and possibly identify modifiable risc factors in a retrospective cohort of patients that have undergone fast-track cardiac surgery, as a part of the on-going patient-centered quality improvement. ;
