Filter by:To determine the combined effects of 4-7-8 breathing technique and stationary cycle on physical performance, quality of life and dyspnea in post CABG patients.
To determine Effect of Clinical Pilates (CP) exercises on kinesiophobia and post-operative cardiopulmonary parameters in CABG patients. Kinesiophobia may lead to patients' psychological fear of rehabilitation exercise, thereby refusing rehabilitation exercise, affecting the rehabilitation process of patients, resulting in disuse syndrome, depression, disability and other adverse consequences. Thus, this study is to be conducted to find out the effects Pilates exercises with cardiac rehabilitation for management of Kinesiophobia in post CABG patients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether the use of intermittent superficial parasternal intercostal plane blocks reduces opioid usage in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with median sternotomy. Participants randomized to the intervention group will receive the blocks with 0.2% ropivacaine administered via catheters placed in the superficial parasternal intercostal plane bilaterally under ultrasound guidance. Researchers will compare this group with a control group given 0.9% saline through similarly placed catheters. The primary outcome will be cumulative postoperative opioid use (measured as Milligram Morphine Equivalent (MME)) up to 72 hours following catheter insertion.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of bilateral, paravertebral blockade (intervention) against sham blocks (control) placed prior to sternotomy in improving quality of recovery following cardiac surgery. Primary outcome: The hypothesis is that bilateral single-shot PVB at the thoracic spinal segmental levels T3/4, compared with sham blocks, improve the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) score at 24 hours following cardiac surgery by a minimally clinically important difference of 8.0 or greater. Secondary outcomes: The hypothesis is that the intervention will reduce pain scores, opioid requirements, and related side effects; improve respiratory mechanics; and facilitate a better first night's rest/sleep in the first 24-48 hours compared to sham blocks.
To determine the effects of Baduanjin sequential therapy (BST) on physical functioning and quality of life among post-CABG patients. Many studies have focused on the effects of standing Baduanjin on chronic diseases and it's an evidence-based therapy.
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a public health problem, A substantial percentage of infants and toddlers with CHD undergo cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Undernutrition affects up to 90% of these patients, and it's contributed to worse surgical and neurological outcomes. Infants with CHD are typically delivered at full term with a normal birth weight. However, as time passes, their development may become stunted. There are no negotiated guidelines for nutritional monitoring and intervention in this age bracket of infants. Through the use of Energy Enriched and Protein Enriched nutrition formula during the postoperative phase, this has shown to be well tolerated and support in delivering higher nutrition intakes within the first days after surgery. The objective of this research is to assess the long term outcome of patients who have had energy- and protein-rich nutrition formulas post cardiac surgery. An open, 2-arm, randomized controlled trials will be conducted to assess the efficacy of early administration of energy enriched and protein enriched formula in post cardiac repair infants. The expected primary outcome is that intervention group will have good tolerance to feeding and the secondary outcome is the significant weight gain rate (weight velocity) in comparing to control groups
Since November 2005, we are running a specialized post anesthetic care unit (PACU) in our tertiary, university affiliated high-volume heart centre. In our concept, we are bypassing ICU admission completely. The fast-track concept was initially applied to pre-selected elective patients undergoing low-risk operations. However, promising outcomes led to a more widespread utilization with more complex procedures. The aim of this study is to analyse the fast track evolutions.
Based on a review of about 10,000 patients undergoing cardiac surgery under CPB in West China Hospital of Sichuan University and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University, we try to evalute the effect of blood transfusion on outcomes in cardiac surgery.
Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps (IABP) is a widely used and effective left ventricular adjuvant therapy. IABP is an inflatable device placed in the aorta that inflates with diastole and deflates with systole. The aim of this study is to investigate the outcome of patients treated With IABP, and to evaluate the short-term and long-term outcomes of patients with IABP.
Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) may provide pulmonary and circulatory support for patients with acute heart failure refractory to conventional medical therapy. However, indications and effectiveness of ECLS engagement post-surgery remains a concern. The investigators sought to analyze indications, modality and outcomes of PS-ECLS, to identify predictors of early and midterm survival after PS-ECLS. The investigators have recorded prospectively, and analysed data of 209 consecutive PS-ECLS patients between January 2004 and December 2018. Demographic and clinical data before, during and after PS-ECLS were collected and their influence on hospital mortality and outcomes (early and midterm) will analyse. Multivariate analysis of pre PS-ECLS implantation factors (as age, female sex , insulin-dependent diabetes, pulmonary hypertension, STS, type of surgical procedure data, pre-ECLS blood lactate level) will be made for identify prognostic risk factors of in-hospital mortality. Overall survival will be analysed, at 6 months,1-year and 5-years, respectively and the factors influencing mild/term outcome will be investigated.
