Filter by:The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the effect of using virtual reality glasses on the surgical fear and anxiety levels of patients undergoing open heart surgery on the morning of surgery. The main hypotheses are: 1. The surgical fear level of patients who use virtual reality glasses on the morning of surgery is lower than patients who do not use virtual reality glasses. 2. The anxiety level of patients who use virtual reality glasses on the morning of surgery is lower than patients who do not use virtual reality glasses. Before the surgery, study group patients will be asked to watch videos using virtual reality glasses.
The aim of this study is to examine the changes in respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity markers and the relationship between them in patients who have undergone open heart surgery and are at the discharge stage. Method: Preoperative and postoperative evaluation results of 34 patients at discharge will be examined. Evaluations in the file; demographic data, respiratory functions; It will include spirometric measurements and intraoral pressure measurements and functional capacity measurement results. SPSS version 25 will be used in data analysis. The distribution of the participants according to their gender among the groups, presence of chronic diseases, regular drug use, smoking, alcohol use, regular exercise habits will be evaluated with the "chi-square" test. The conformity of the data to the normal distribution will be tested with the Shaphiro-Wilk Test. The difference between before and after the operation will be evaluated with the Paired Sample T Test. Pearson Correlation Test was performed for the relationship between independent variables and the significance level will be accepted as p<0.05.
Introduction: Failure to follow-up patients by healthcare professionals after discharge may increase the development of anxiety and complications in patients. Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of tele-nursing method to patients who have undergone Open Heart Surgery (OHS) after discharge on anxiety and some other complications. Material and Methods:This quasi-experimental randomized controlled study, which was conducted in a private hospital between November 2020 and April 2021, included 75 patients, 38 from the Intervention (IG) and 37 from the Control Group (KG). IG and CG patients were provided routine treatment and care. In addition to the IG, training and counselling were provided at least four times by phone calls between the first week after discharge and the end of the first month. Descriptive Form and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S and T) were administered to all patients before discharge, and STAI-S was administered at the end of the first month after discharge. Post-discharge complications were evaluated by medical doctor in both groups. These data, number of hospitalization and readmission rates were obtained from hospital records.
Moderate to vigorous physical activity has been shown to be associated with autonomic regulation of the heart measured with heart rate variability. Cardiac autonomic modulation can be evaluated by heart rate variability. Activity promoting games can be an effective tool to aid rehabilitation in clinical settings. Combining gaming with the ergo-cycle can facilitate improving patients' activity time spent on the cycle.
Millions of individuals with coronary artery, or valvular heart disease have been given a new chance at life by heart surgery, but the potential for neurological injury is a great risk .Neural complications - including neurocognitive dysfunction and ischemic complications are complications of cardiac surgery that can restrict the improved quality of life. Propofol is one of the most popular agents used for induction of anesthesia. propofol reduces cerebral blood flow but maintains coupling with cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen and decreases intracranial pressure, allowing optimal intraoperative conditions. Ketamine is a non-competitive antagonist of NMDA receptors that has well documented neuroprotective effects against ischemic brain injury and glutamate-induced brain injury. ketamine has neuroprotective effects against oxygen-glucose deprivation injury
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of serum values of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and lactate to predict postoperative complications in the early postoperative period after open-heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Effective pain relief after cardiac surgery has assumed importance with the introduction of fast track discharge protocols that requires early weaning from mechanical ventilation. Inadequate pain control reduces the capacity to cough, mobility, increases the frequency of atelectasis, and prolongs recovery. Infiltration of local anesthetics near the surgical wound has shown to improve early postoperative pain in various surgical procedures. Magnesium is the fourth most plentiful cation in our body. It has antinociceptive effects in animal and human models of pain.
preconditioning of no debate has a valuable effect upon myocardial protection . pre-cardiopulmonary bypass pre-conditioning , suspected to have a role upon postoperative inotropic support
With the advancement in microprocessor technology and better understanding of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of anaesthetic agents, computer facilitated closed loop control of anaesthesia using propofol has been shown to be accurate with better performance than manual control. Literature on computer controlled administration of inhalational anaesthetics is few, as it requires the computer to control the dial setting on the vapouriser. The investigators intend to compare the computer controlled closed loop administration of isoflurane by infusing it into the anaesthetic circuit with conventional vaporiser control in elective open heart surgery. 40 patients (ASA (American Society of Anesthesiology) class II-IV; 18- 65 years) undergoing elective cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) will be randomly divided into manual or closed loop groups. Propofol will be used for induction of anaesthesia in both groups followed by isoflurane for maintenance. In the manual group, isoflurane will be administered through the Tech 7 vapouriser during pre and post CPB periods to target bispectral index (BIS) of 50. In closed loop group, isoflurane will be administered using infusion of liquid isoflurane into expiratory limb of the closed circuit. This rate of infusion though a conventional syringe pump will be controlled by algorithm termed 'Improvised Anaesthetic Agent Delivery System' (IAADS) to maintain BIS of 50. Patients in both groups will receive 500ml of 100 % oxygen as fresh gas flow. The % of time bispectral index (BIS) is within the 10 of set target BIS of 50 will be the primary outcome measure. The secondary outcome measures will be median performance error (MDPE)(2), median absolute performance error (MDAPE)(2), wobble(2), divergence(2), amount of isoflurane used and hemodynamic parameters will be secondary outcome measures.
Cardiopulmonary bypass is done with a machine that does the work of the heart and lungs during open-heart surgery. This study is to determine if intravenous (i.v.) phenoxybenzamine is safe. This drug lowers the blood pressure, making it easier for the cardiopulmonary bypass machine to deliver blood and oxygen to all of the organs and tissues.
