What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of POAF

    Continuous ECG recordings were made on Holter recorders for 72 hours after the operation. Arrhythmia detection were done automatically by template matching. The decisions made automatically by the computer were reviewed and corrected by an experienced technician and then by a cardiologist.

    Measured: 72 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (33)
  1. the Trail Making Test

    the neuropsychological test to measure cognitive function

    Measured: 1 day before surgery(baseline)

  2. the Grooved Pegboard Test

    the neuropsychological test to measure cognitive function

    Measured: 1 day before surgery(baseline)

  3. the Digit Span Test

    the neuropsychological test to measure cognitive function

    Measured: 1 day before surgery(baseline)

  4. the Number-Symbol Replacement Test

    the neuropsychological test to measure cognitive function

    Measured: 1 day before surgery(baseline)

  5. the Finger Tapping Test

    the neuropsychological test to measure cognitive function.

    Measured: 1 day before surgery(baseline)

  6. the Word Fluency Test

    the neuropsychological test to measure cognitive function

    Measured: 1 day before surgery(baseline)

  7. the Building Block Test

    the neuropsychological test to measure cognitive function

  8. Mini-Mental score examination (MMSE)

    Mini-Mental score examination [MMSE] used for screening of dementia

    Measured: 1 day before surgery(baseline),6±1 days after surgery,one month after surgery

  9. Quality of Recovery Score - 40 (QoR-40)

    Quality of recovery will be evaluated by Quality of Recovery 40 (QoR40),which assesses five dimensions of recovery (physical comfort,emotional state, physical independence , physiological support and pain ). Each item is rated on a five-point Likert scale: none of the time, some of the time, usually, most of the time, and all the time. The total score on the QoR40 ranges from 40 (poorest quality of recovery) to 200 (best quality of recovery).

    Measured: 1 day before surgery(baseline),1 day after surgery

  10. specific time of POAF

    Specific time of POAF,such as 9:00AM,first day after surgery

    Measured: 72 hours after surgery

  11. incidence of other arrhythmia

    Continuous ECG recordings were made on Holter recorders for 72 hours after the operation. Arrhythmia detection were done automatically by template matching. The decisions made automatically by the computer were reviewed and corrected by an experienced technician and then by a cardiologist.

    Measured: 72 hours after surgery

  12. Ventricular rate during POAF

    Continuous ECG recordings were made on Holter recorders for 72 hours after the operation.

    Measured: 72 hours after surgery

  13. Incidence of postoperative delirium

    Confusion Assessment Method(CAM) to measure delirium

    Measured: before discharge from PACU,twice a day every 12 hours within 3 days after surgery

  14. Numerical Rating Scale(NRS)

    Evaluate the severity using numerical rating scale(NRS), where zero mean no pain and 10 the worst imaginable pain.

    Measured: before discharge from PACU,twice a day every 12 hours within 3 days after surgery

  15. incidence of POAF

    Conduct electrocardiogram in patients with heartache or other symptoms.The decisions made by an experienced technician and then confirmed by a cardiologist.

    Measured: 4-14 days after surgery

  16. incidence of other arrhythmia

    Conduct electrocardiogram in patients with heartache or other symptoms.The decisions made by an experienced technician and then confirmed by a cardiologist.

    Measured: 4-14 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing topical local anesthesia of pulmonary vein combined with vagus nerve block in people with Atrial Fibrillation, run by Han Yuan at 1 site in China.

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 8 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 5 Dec 2019. 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 China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Contact Junli Cao (+86 15162160809, caojl0310@yahoo.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

incidence of POAF (time frame: 72 hours after surgery). 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 5 Dec 2019.
