About this study

Official title: Impact of Intraoperative Hemodynamic Instability on Postoperative Major Adverse Events in Cardiac Surgery Patients: A Prospective Cohort Study

Intraoperative hemodynamic instability (IOHI) is a common occurrence during cardiac surgery and is associated with organ hypoperfusion. However, the specific impact of IOHI on composite adverse outcomes remains unclear. This prospective cohort study aims to evaluate the association between intraoperative hemodynamic instability (defined as MAP < 65 mmHg or vasopressor requirement) and major postoperative complications (Delirium, Acute Kidney Injury, Stroke, or Mortality) in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.

Read the detailed description

Hemodynamic instability during cardiac surgery is a critical factor influencing postoperative recovery. While transient hypotension is common, prolonged instability may lead to end-organ damage due to hypoperfusion. This prospective observational study will be conducted at the University of Health Sciences Gazi Yasargil Training and Research Hospital.

Patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgery (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, Valve replacement/repair, or combined procedures) utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass will be enrolled. Intraoperative hemodynamic data, including Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), heart rate, and vasoactive medication requirements, will be recorded.

Patients will be categorized into two groups based on intraoperative stability:

  1. Hemodynamic Instability Group: Patients experiencing MAP < 65 mmHg for more than 5 minutes continuously or requiring significant vasopressor/inotropic support to maintain target pressure.
  2. Stable Group: Patients maintaining hemodynamic stability without significant hypotensive episodes.

The primary endpoint is a composite of major adverse events within 30 days, including Postoperative Delirium (assessed via CAM-ICU), Acute Kidney Injury (KDIGO criteria), Stroke, and All-cause Mortality. Secondary endpoints include the duration of mechanical ventilation and length of ICU/hospital stay. The study aims to provide evidence-based thresholds for intraoperative blood pressure management to improve patient outcomes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT07324694
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Hemodynamic Instability GroupPatients who exhibit intraoperative hemodynamic instability, defined as Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) < 65 mmHg for >5 minutes continuously, or requiring vasopressor/inotropic support to maintain MAP.
Hemodynamically Stable GroupPatients who maintain intraoperative hemodynamic stability without significant hypotension episodes (MAP > 65 mmHg) or vasopressor requirement beyond baseline anesthesia induction.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Composite Adverse Events

    A composite endpoint defined as the occurrence of any of the following within 30 days post-surgery: Postoperative Delirium (assessed by CAM-ICU), Acute Kidney Injury (KDIGO criteria stage 1 or higher), Stroke (new neurological deficit confirmed by imaging), or All-cause Mortality.

    Measured: Up to 30 days post-operation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Duration of Mechanical Ventilation

    Time from ICU admission to successful extubation (in hours).

    Measured: Up to 30 days

  2. Length of Hospital Stay

    Total duration of hospital stay from surgery to discharge (in days)

    Measured: Up to 30 days

  3. Length of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Stay

    Time from admission to the Intensive Care Unit immediately after surgery until discharge to the ward (in days).

    Measured: Up to 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Surgery and Intraoperative Hemodynamic Instability, run by Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi Gazi Yasargil Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2026. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Composite Adverse Events (time frame: Up to 30 days post-operation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07324694, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 Oct 2026.
