About this study

Official title: Prospective and Randomized Study to Evaluate the Impact of the Recovery Pathway on Postoperative Leght of Stay in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

This randomized and prospective trial aims to evaluate the implementation of a rapid recovery protocol for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in a hospital serving patients from the Brazilian Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS). The study will compare outcomes between two groups: patients receiving care under the rapid recovery protocol and those following the standard institutional care.

Primary Objective:

Read more

Compare postoperative hospital stay between the rapid recovery group and the usual care group.

Secondary Objectives:

Assess morbidity and mortality between both groups.

Evaluate patient satisfaction using validated tools.

Analyze incremental costs associated with both approaches.

Assess healthcare teams' learning progression regarding the protocol (Kirkpatrick method).

Evaluate adherence to rapid recovery protocol metrics by healthcare teams.

Measure changes in patient safety culture among healthcare professionals.

Hypothesis:

The null hypothesis assumes no difference in hospital stay between the two groups. The alternative hypothesis suggests that the rapid recovery protocol will reduce hospital stay compared to the standard care. Previous findings from Mejia et al. (2022) indicated a 40% reduction in postoperative hospital stay (from 13 to 7.8 days) for cardiac surgery patients under a rapid recovery protocol at the Heart Institute (InCor HCFMUSP).

This trial will provide critical insights into the applicability of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) principles in cardiac surgery within the context of public healthcare, aiming to improve outcomes and optimize resource use.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative hospital stay

    Count of time between admission to the intensive care unit and hospital discharge (in hours and days).

    Measured: From admission to the intensive care unit until hospital discharge (an average of 14 days of leght of hospital stay)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of participants with cardiac reoperation, deep sternal wound infection/mediastinitis, stroke, prolonged ventilation, renal failure, or death within 30 days after surgery (morbimortality)

    Incidence of key morbidities and mortality, including cardiac reoperation, deep sternal wound infection/mediastinitis, stroke, prolonged ventilation, renal failure, and death.

    Measured: Hospital stay to 30 days after hospital discharge (an average of 14 days of leght of hospital stay)

  2. Patient-reported Patient-reported quality of life (SF-36)

    Quality of life assessed by SF-36 survey before surgery and 30 days after hospital discharge. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.

    Measured: Before surgery and 30 days after hospital discharge (an average of 14 days of leght of hospital stay)

  3. Patient-reported Anxiety and depression (HADS)

    Assessment of anxiety and depression using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Scores range from 0 to 21 for both anxiety and depression subscales, with higher scores indicating greater levels of anxiety or depression.

    Measured: Intervention group: Before surgery, at hospital discharge, and 30 days after hospital discharge. Control group: Before surgery and 30 days after hospital discharge (an average of 14 days of leght of hospital stay)

  4. Patient experience (HCAHPS)

    Assessment of patient experience using the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey.

    Measured: Between 3 and 30 days after hospital discharge (an average of 14 days of leght of hospital stay).

  5. Incremental Costs Assessed Using Micro-Costing Analysis

    Incremental costs assessed through a detailed micro-costing analysis of preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases. Costs will include hospital stay (ward and intensive care unit), multiprofessional care, medications (including blood transfusion), surgical room costs (surgery time and equipment), operational equipment, consumables, imaging exams, and medical supplies. Costs associated with readmissions within 30 days after discharge will also be included.

    Measured: From hospital admission through the postoperative period, including readmissions up to 30 days after discharge.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tempos Certos protocol in people with Enhanced Recovery After Surgery and Quality Improvement, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital at 1 site in Brazil.

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 3 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 2024. 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 Brazil. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Omar A V Mejia, md, PhD (555+(11) 2661-5014, omarvmejia@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postoperative hospital stay (time frame: From admission to the intensive care unit until hospital discharge (an average of 14 days of leght of hospital stay)). 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 3 Dec 2024.
