Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All adult high risk cardiac surgical patients undergoing procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. High risk was defined, a priori, as patients who are expected to require an inotropic and/or vasoconstrictive agent for more than 12 hours post-CPB.

Who may be able to join

  • the procedure was a first-start case, (2) the procedure was scheduled, (3) the procedure is considered non-emergent, and (4) the cardiac surgery required cardiopulmonary bypass

Who cannot join

  • Patients less than 18 years of age, (2) failure to undergo CPB, (3) non-first-start or emergent classification, (4) as well those who did not receive at least 12 hours of inotropic and/or vasoconstrictive agents were excluded from the study.

About this study

Official title: Prospective Data Analysis of a Quality Improvement Initiative for Perioperative Hemodynamic Optimization Therapy and Postoperative Outcomes in Patients Undergoing High-Risk Cardiac Surgery

This project is designed to assess the impact of implementing a hemodynamic optimization protocol, utilizing flow guided parameters that is provided by technology from Edwards Lifesciences, for patients undergoing high risk cardiac surgery. Importantly, this project is being targeted as a QI initiative because there is no evaluation of new technology or procedures. All technologies and procedures are currently being used for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Rather this project is evaluating the implementation of a multi-dispclinary developed protocol that seeks to remove variability in which providers are currently treating patients hemodynamics during and acutely after cardiac surgery. Previous research has demonstrated that implementation of hemodynamic management protocols improves perioperative outcome in surgical patients. This project seeks to evaluate the impact of implementing this protocol as the new clinical standard for high-risk cardiac surgery patients. Specifically, this protocol would be a comprehensive hemodynamic management strategy that would-be initiated in the operating room post-bypass and then continued for the first 12 hours in the intensive care unit (see figure below). To restate, all technologies and procedures are currently being performed for these patients, however, there has not been a protocol guiding how practionioners use this technology. The project is evaluating the impact of protocolized treatment strategies. Importantly this protocol has been designed, reviewed and agreed by the motivation of the physicians who are currently responsible for managing these patients hemodynamics. Since this project does involve alterations in procedures or technologies we are seeking to proceed as a quality improvement project. Additionally the protocol is one that has been reviewed and agreed to provide the optimal management strategy for these patients. This again is the overall focus of this project, to implement a hemodynamic management protocol to improve outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

    This is a comprehensive hemodynamic management strategy that would-be initiated in the operating room post-bypass and then continued for the first 12 hours in the intensive care unit

What is being measured

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

  1. Length of Stay

    ICU length of stay

    Measured: days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Major postoperative complications identified as:

    1. incidence of stroke, (2) incidence of renal failure (defined as a threefold or greater rise in creatinine or new dialysis requirement), (3) prolonged intubation (>24 hours), and/or (4) a sternal wound infection.

    Measured: during hospitalization

  2. Hospital length of stay

    Measured: days

  3. 30-day readmission

    Measured: days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft, run by Loma Linda University at 1 site in United States.

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 1 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 31 Aug 2020. 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 United States. 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?

Length of Stay (time frame: days). 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 31 Aug 2020.
