Monitoring glycocalyx to predict complications after heart surgery

Evaluation de l'utilité du Monitorage du Glycacalyx Pour prédire Les Complications du Patient de Chirurgie Cardiaque

Observational University Hospital, Rouen · NCT06136637

This study is trying to see if changes in a protective layer around blood vessels can help predict complications in patients after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on the changes in microcirculation and glycocalyx thickness during cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass. It aims to assess how variations in glycocalyx thickness can predict major complications within the first 24 hours post-surgery. By closely monitoring these parameters, the study seeks to provide insights into patient outcomes and improve postoperative care. The study will involve patients undergoing scheduled cardiac surgeries that require cardiopulmonary bypass lasting over 60 minutes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who are scheduled for cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass.

Not a fit: Patients not undergoing cardiac surgery or those with a planned surgery duration of less than 60 minutes may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the ability to predict and manage complications after cardiac surgery, leading to improved patient outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: While the specific approach of monitoring glycocalyx in this context may be novel, similar studies have shown promise in understanding microcirculation and its impact on surgical outcomes.
