DOBUTamine

Summary: This study will include patients aged 50 and older scheduled for elective abdominal oncologic surgery, classified as ASA II and III due to increased anaesthetic and surgical risk. Gender will not be a stratification factor. Exclusion criteria include patient refusal, memory impairment, psychosis, known or suspected EEG abnormalities, chronic psychoactive medication use, urgent procedures, BMI belo...

Summary: An observational study of patients with emerging or established severe cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid haemorrhage, employing multimodal neuromonitoring.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by the investigators for identifying severe low-gradient aortic valve stenosis. Accurate assessment of stenosis severity is crucial for proper qualification for surgical treatment. It is expected that the use of AI will improve diagnostic accuracy and thereby support better clinical outcom...

Summary: The project is aimed at studying the feasibility of mechanical dyssynchrony of the left ventricle of the heart, determined by SPECT (gated MPI), as well as its stress-induced dynamics, in the evaluation of patients with coronary microvascular dysfunction in chronic coronary heart diseasу.

Summary: Cardiogenic shock (CS) mortality remains high (40%). Despite their frequent use, few clinical outcome data are available to guide the initial selection of vasoactive drug therapies in patients with CS. Based on experts' opinions, the combination of norepinephrine-dobutamine is generally recommended as a first line strategy. Inotropic agents increase myocardial contractility, thereby increasing car...

Summary: The goal of this observational cohort study, which is both retrospective and prospective, is to evaluate the long-term clinical and instrumental response to Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM) treatment in adult subjects suffering from symptomatic heart failure (HF) due to systolic left ventricular dysfunction, despite adequate medical therapy. Based on the response to stress echocardiography w...

Summary: The PUSH-1 trial is a randomized, single-center pilot trial investigating whether dobutamine administration is feasible in patients having major abdominal surgery.

Summary: The Cardiogenic Shock Working Group is a multicenter registry where we collect de-identified clinical variables from the medical records and follow-up phone calls of shock patients from multiple institutions and centralize this data to a single registry for analysis of clinical outcomes.

Summary: Radical nephrectomy and nephroureterectomy are common operations for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma and upper tract urothelial carcinoma, respectively. However, acute kidney injury frequently occurs after surgery. And the occurrence of acute kidney injury is associated with an increased risk of chronic kidney disease. Intraoperative hypotension is identified as an important risk factor of p...

Summary: The investigators are interested in determining if there is a meaningful benefit from the use of medications purported to increase the pumping function of the heart (i.e. inotropes) among critically ill patients admitted to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU). To do this, the investigators will conduct a multi-centre, double blind, randomized control trial with patients who are deemed to requir...

Summary: Using medications to increase blood pressure, called vasopressors, is invaluable in treating patients who have difficulty maintaining stable blood pressure. Vasopressors are usually infused through a central venous catheter (CVC), which is a flexible tube placed in the large vein of the neck, arm or groin. CVCs require a skilled clinician and often with an ultrasound to prevent complications such ...

Summary: The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to identify the effects of percutaneous interventions for branch PA stenosis on exercise capacity in patients with d-TGA, ToF and TA. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: The primary study objective is to identify the effects of percutaneous interventions for branch PA stenosis on exercise capacity in patients with d-TGA, ToF and TA. The sec...
