April 12, 2021 updated by: Prisma Health-Upstate

The purpose of this research study is to compare the amount of morphine milligram equivalents consumed post operatively until discharge between the control cohort and intervention cohort.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Retrospective data will be collected on patients admitted to Prisma Health-Upstate Greenville Memorial Hospital in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit following cardiovascular surgery. They will be divided into two cohorts, a control cohort from September 1, 2018 - October 31, 2018 and an intervention cohort from March 1, 2019 - April 30, 2019. A study investigator will assess each participant's electronic medical record through the electronic medical record database - EPIC to determine eligibility per the protocol. Demographic information will be collected, including age, date of birth, race, sex, height, weight, and ethnicity. Extubation and reintubation status will be collected along with medical history, type of cardiovascular procedure, medications, length of stay, pain scores, complications, and labs.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Control Cohort
A control cohort from September 1, 2018 - October 31, 2018
Other: Multi-modal Opioid Sparing Pain Management Protocol
Incorporating multimodal opioid sparing ERAS techniques for cardiac surgery patients should show a decrease in the amount of opioids received, reduction in incidence of chronic pain, ileus, delirium, and potential for opioid addiction post-operatively. Between the dates of November 2018 through February 2019, a multi-modal, opioid sparing pain management protocol was evolving and a protocol was put into place. This study will compare outcomes before and after implementation of the protocol between the dates of September 1, 2018 - October 31, 2018 and March 1, 2019 - April 30, 2019.
Intervention Cohort
An intervention cohort from March 1, 2019 - April 30, 2019
Other: Multi-modal Opioid Sparing Pain Management Protocol
Incorporating multimodal opioid sparing ERAS techniques for cardiac surgery patients should show a decrease in the amount of opioids received, reduction in incidence of chronic pain, ileus, delirium, and potential for opioid addiction post-operatively. Between the dates of November 2018 through February 2019, a multi-modal, opioid sparing pain management protocol was evolving and a protocol was put into place. This study will compare outcomes before and after implementation of the protocol between the dates of September 1, 2018 - October 31, 2018 and March 1, 2019 - April 30, 2019.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Morphine Milligram Equivalents Comparison
Time Frame: 1 year
Compare the amount of morphine milligram equivalents consumed post operatively until discharge between groups.
1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Ileus
Time Frame: 1 year
Compare incidence of postoperative ileus between both cohorts.
1 year
Delirium
Time Frame: 1 year
Compare incidence of delirium between both cohorts.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
