About this study

Official title: The Safety and Efficacy of the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery(ERAS) Applied on Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass: a Single Center, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Study

This study evaluates the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) concept over conventional postoperative care in patients with heart valve disease undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Half of participants will adherence to the ERAS, while the other half will under the conventional postoperative care.

Read the detailed description

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) or fast-track surgery is a perioperative and postoperative care concept initiated in the early 1990s aiming to reduce the length of hospital stays following elective abdominal surgery. The success of ERAS depends highly on multidisciplinary teamwork and patient compliance.

This study intends to compare the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) concept applied to patients with heart valve disease undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass under traditional perioperative management of patients, committed to reducing patient's physical and psychological stress by surgical trauma, achieve the purpose of fast recovery, in order to establish an effective perioperative management during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, improve patients' satisfaction and to accelerate postoperative rehabilitation safely.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ERAS group in people with Valvular Heart Disease, run by Xiangya Hospital of Central South University at 1 site in China.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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 1 Jun 2017. 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 China. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

The postoperative hospital time (time frame: From pre-surgery to discharge, up to 4 weeks). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02479581, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 1 Jun 2017.
