Study population: 100 adult patients who are ready for elective cardiac surgery.

Who may be able to join

About this study

Official title: Diaphragmatic Dysfunction and Cardiac Surgery; Perioperative Assessment and Effect on Outcome; Prospective Observational Study

This study evaluates incidence of diaphragmatic dysfunction after cardiac surgery and its effect on outcome of surgery.

Read the detailed description

Diaphragmatic dysfunction will be assessed by ultrasonography the day before operation and first post operative day, by measuring diaphragmatic thickening during inspiration and expiration.incidence of diaphragmatic dysfunction and its effect on outcome of surgery then will be analysed.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT03126838
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
diaphragmatic dysfunctiondiaphragmatic displacement < 10 ml, and / OR diaphragmatic thickening fraction < 36 %.
non diaphragmatic dysfunctiondiaphragmatic displacement > 10 ml, and / OR diaphragmatic thickening fraction > 36 %.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diaphragmatic excursion.

    diaphragmatic excursion (displacement, cm)

    Measured: at the beginning of the spontaneous breathing trial (around 4hours after surgery).

  2. diaphragmatic dysfunction post cardiac surgery.

    diaphragmatic thickening fraction [Thickness at end inspiration - Thickness at end expiration]

    / Thickness at end expiration

    Measured: at the beginning of the spontaneous breathing trial (around 4hours after surgery).

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. . Diaphragmatic excursion

    diaphragmatic excursion (displacement, cm)

    Measured: the day before surgery

  2. • Diaphragm dysfunction before surgery

    diaphragmatic thickening fraction [Thickness at end inspiration - Thickness at end expiration]

    / Thickness at end expiration

    Measured: the day before surgery

  3. Left ventricular ejection fraction

    as indicator of cardiac function

    Measured: the day before surgery

  4. • Total ventilation time

    in term of hours (in diaphragmatic dysfunction group)

    Measured: from time of addmission to surgical ICU up to 1 week

  5. • Extracorporeal circulation duration

    cardiopulmonary bypass time in term of minutes

    Measured: peroperative

  6. • Ventilation free days.

    after extubation first time tell end of ICU stay, in term of days (in diaphragmatic dysfunction group)

    Measured: from time of admission to surgical ICU up to 1 week

  7. • Total ICU stay

    in term of days (in diaphragmatic dysfunction group)

    Measured: from time of admission to surgical ICU up to 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diaphragm Disease, run by National Heart Institute, Egypt at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diaphragmatic excursion. (time frame: at the beginning of the spontaneous breathing trial (around 4hours after surgery).). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Apr 2017.
