About this study

Official title: The Influence of Short Term Treatment With Benzodiazepine After Cardiac Surgery

The study deals with the prevalence of insomnia after heart surgery and the outcome of treatment with Benzodiazepine for this phenomena.

Read the detailed description

Patients after heart surgery develop sleep disorder in the form of Insomnia. This finding is known and described in the literature with respect to a large number of major operations such as the pneumonectomy, esophageal resection, pancreatic surgery, liver surgery and so on. In the general population, Insomnia is a common disorder and describe in more than 50% in adults over the age of 50. In patients with comorbidity among other things, heart disease indicates a rate of up to 85% of chronic insomnia. The reasons for insomnia after multiple heart surgery, including emotional stress that accompanies the patient after surgery, pain and prolonged hospitalization in the hospital. In this study, aim to compare the results of short-term treatment with sleep medication after heart surgery on morbidity and immediate recovery. This study will allow us to examine the effect of sleep medication therapy in patients receiving treatment compared to patients who did not receive treatment.
