NCT07483502
More than 7.4 million people in the UK are currently waiting for surgery. Behind that number are real people-patients preparing mentally and physically for procedures ranging from joint replacements to major heart and abdominal operations. This research forms part of a broader strategy known as prehabilitation - preparing the body before surgery to improve outcomes afterward. For patients waiting for surgery, it represents a shift from passive waiting to active preparation. Heart surgery for bypass or valve replacements results in inevitable yet controlled trauma. It increases inflammation, stress hormones and immune system demand. The body then has to repair itself - quickly and efficiently. And here's the surprising part. Inside your gut live trillions of bacteria - called your gut microbiome. These bacteria help regulate inflammation, strengthen your immune system and protect against infection. This randomised clinical trial is investigating a fascinating question: Can improving your gut microbiome through consumption of fibre before surgery help you recover faster, reduce time in ICU, shorten hospital stays, and lower complication rates? The placebo controlled trial will randomise 80 patients following eligibiilty checks to either 5g of prebiotic fibre/300mg of magnesium (WellBiome) OR 5g of maltodextrin for a period of 6-8 weeks prior to surgery. Patient will provide blood, urine and faecal samples at baseline and upon admission for surgery, and two further blood samples at day 3 and 6 post operatively. Following surgery, patient outcomes will be assessed and compared between the experimental group (prebiotic fibre/magnesium) and placebo group (maltodextrin). The investigators are focussing on the time spent in the intensive care unit, complications and overall hospital stay. By documenting and quantifying these the investigators can calculate the costs and any savings between the groups.
NCT04333095
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and bad) that the study medicine called "liposomal bupivacaine" has on subjects that are undergoing a sternotomy. Liposomal bupivacaine solution, is a drug that the doctor will inject before they make the cut through patient's breastbone (sternotomy). Normally pain medicine like this is given right before the surgeon closes up the patient's breastbone, at the end of the surgery. For this study, they want to see if giving the medicine before they make the cut into the patient's breastbone helps their pain. They also want to find out if patients feel less pain after surgery with the study drug than they do with saline and possibly decrease the need for pain medicine. Subjects will be in the study for about 72 hours or until they are discharged from the hospital.
NCT07330453
This multicenter, prospective study prospectively enrolled patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery. Detailed perioperative clinical data and biospecimens were collected at multiple time points. The primary aim is to develop an early warning model for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) by integrating clinical data and biomarkers. Additionally, through long-term follow-up, the study seeks to characterize outcome trajectories and establish a prognostic model for AKI patients. This study addresses four key questions: 1) Integration of clinical information and biomarkers to develop an early predictive model for cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI); 2) Identification of risk factors for CSA-AKI occurrence; 3) Determinants of prognosis in patients with CSA-AKI; and 4) Enhanced prediction of near- and long-term clinical event risks in this patient population. Participants will receive standard perioperative management. The study protocol includes the following procedures:(1) Clinical Data Collection: Comprehensive perioperative clinical data will be systematically recorded. (2) Biospecimen Sampling: Serial blood and urine samples will be obtained at predefined time points throughout the perioperative period. (3) In-Hospital Monitoring: Clinical outcomes will be continuously monitored during the hospital stay. (3) Post-discharge Follow-up: Participants will be assessed at regular intervals after discharge to track the occurrence of major adverse events. These findings provide a foundational basis for the development of a data-driven early-warning system. Such a system is designed to facilitate the prompt identification of high-risk patients and enable the initiation of personalized treatment strategies, thereby potentially improving clinical outcomes and optimizing resource allocation
NCT06889935
The study was carried out to evaluate the effect of respiratory exercise diary use on postoperative pain in patients undergoing elective cardiovascular surgery in a training and research hospital in Istanbul.
NCT06601582
Randomized trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a intra operative blood recovery system in reducing the need for allogeneic transfusion in cardiovascular surgeries using cardiopulmonary bypass
NCT04669548
The Accuryn Registry Study is an open-ended, global, multi-center, retrospective and prospective, single-arm data collection study with an FDA cleared device. The target population are cardiovascular surgery patients. Physiologic data measurements will be collected from enrolled subjects using electronic medical records and data streams via the Accuryn Monitoring System.

NCT01411553
Null hypothesis: (1) there is no difference in rates of ICU-acquired infection based on using disposable or cleaned, reusable ECG leadwires and (2) In cardiac surgical telemetry floors, there is no difference in false or nuisance sightings or crisis calls based on using disposable or cleaned, reusable ECG leadwires.
NCT00693329
This is a multi-center clinical study designed to assess the performance of the Triage NGAL test as an aid in the early risk assessment for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). Approximately 260 adults at risk for CIN undergoing intra-arterial angiography involving administration of iodinated contrast agent(s) will be enrolled.
NCT00347321
This is a phase III clinical trial comparing early tracheostomy (day 4) versus prolonged endotracheal intubation in ICU patients needing prolonged ventilatory support after cardiovascular surgery.
