Trial summary

In moderate to high risk patients, cardiovascular complications after surgery account for almost 60% of death after surgery. This study will randomize 140 patients into routine postop care with Holter monitoring versus routine postop care + remote ST monitoring + Holter monitoring. Read more about this study

  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients under-going non-cardiac Sx with moderate to high risk of postoperative cardiovascular complications

Who may be able to join

  • Age ≥ 55 years, undergoing non-cardiac surgery with an expected LOS ≥ 2 days, who fulfills at least one of the six criteria for increased risk:
  • History of CAD as defined by any of the following 6 criteria i. history of angina ii. prior myocardial infarction iii. prior positive exercise stress test iv. prior documentation of cardiac ischemia on nuclear stress testing v. prior coronary artery arteriographic evidence of atherosclerotic stenosis > 50% of vessel diameter vi. ECG with pathological Q waves in two contiguous leads
  • PVD as defined by any one of the following 3 criteria:
  • intermittent claudication (i.e. leg pain on walking that disappears in< 10 minutes on standing) that is known or likely to be due to atherosclerotic disease ii. an ankle/arm systolic BP ratio < 0.90 in either leg at rest iii. angiographic or Doppler study demonstrating >70% stenosis

  • Any 3 of the following 7 risk factors i. high risk type of surgery (eg. Open Intrathoracic, intraperitoneal, or major orthopedic surgery) ii. any history of congestive heart failure iii. diabetes and currently on oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin iv. preoperative serum creatinine >175 micromol/L v. age > 70 years vi. history of TIA (i.e. that lasted less than 24 hours) vii. urgent / emergent surgery

Who cannot join

  • Planned ICU admission; atrial fibrillation; left bundle branch block (LBBB); LVH with strain; pacemaker dependency interfering with ST analysis; hemodialysis; digoxin; CABG or PCI within 5 years without any recurrence of CAD by symptoms or cardiac investigations; surgery with low physiological trespasses such as digit re-implantation, nerve repair, etc.; COPD / asthma requiring bronchodilators within the last 12 months; refusal to transfusions; adverse drug reaction (ADR) to NSAIDS, beta-blockers, Ca-channel blockers, statins, nitrates; prior enrolment in PROSE.

About this study

Official title: Postop Remote ECG ST-Monitoring (PROSE 3)

In moderate to high risk patients, cardiovascular complications after surgery account for almost 60% of death after surgery. This study will randomize 140 patients into routine postop care with Holter monitoring versus routine postop care + remote ST monitoring + Holter monitoring. The response time to electrocardiographic (ECG) ST changes as well as the total ischemia time will be studied.

Read the detailed description

This proposal aims to improve the process and quality of care in the postoperative period by early detection of ischemia and prompt use of accepted therapies in order to prevent postoperative myocardial infarctions (PMI) in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Specifically, it aims to validate the safety and efficacy of wireless remote real-time ECG ST-monitoring in the reduction of the incidence of PMI. It extends two pilot feasibility studies into the postoperative period using wireless remote ST-monitoring for early detection of myocardial ischemia followed by preventative strategies. It is anticipated that this research will improve postoperative care by adopting generalizable and practical strategies.

    If ischemia noted, Sx will be notified and currently accepted treatments of myocardial ischemia will be recommended.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. duration of postop myocardial ischemia

    To determine if the duration of postoperative myocardial ischemia during real-time wireless management of ischemic ECG ST changes is half that of standard postop care, as determined by 48-hour ambulatory ECG monitoring

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Complication and Postoperative Complications, run by Ottawa Hospital Research Institute at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

duration of postop myocardial ischemia (time frame: 48 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jun 2014.
