Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices

Brief summary

There was no evidence to suggest that a shortened fluid fast results in an increased risk of aspiration, regurgitation or related morbidity compared with the standard 'nil by mouth from midnight' fasting policy. However, there is no available data regarding the safety and efficacy of fasting approach in patients undergoing cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) procedures. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that a non-fasting protocol is non-inferior in regard to safety to a fasting protocol (current practice) in patients undergoing cardiac device implantation procedures

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patients well-beingDuring the first 24 hours after the procedurePost-interventional patients well-being including (to be assessed by questionnaire with the help of a Numeric Rating Scale (rang: 0-10, higher scores mean a worse outcome): abdominal pain, thirst, mouth dryness, headache, anxiety, hunger, nausea, vomiting, tiredness and weakness, dizziness Incidence of Intra -procedural adverse events like emergency intubation and perioperative pulmonary aspiration vomiting)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Usage of sedativesDuring the interventionAmount of used sedative agents during the intervention
Usage of analgesicsDuring the interventionAmount of used analgesics agents during the intervention
Usage anti-vomiting agentsDuring the interventionAmount of used anti-vomiting agents during the intervention
Serum creatinine level1 hour pre-procedural, during the first 24 hours after the procedureSerum creatinine (mg/dL)
Serum urea level1 hour pre-procedural, during the first 24 hours after the procedureSerum urea (mg/dL)
eGFR1 hour pre-procedural, during the first 24 hours after the procedureGFR is Glomerular Filtration Rate and it is a key indicator of renal function. eGFR is estimated GFR and is a mathematically derived entity based on a patient's serum creatinine level, age, sex and race.
Heart ratepre-intervention, and then every 15 minutes during the procedureHeart rate (frequency per minute) will be assessed by using a monitoring device
Oxygen saturationpre-intervention, and then every 15 minutes during the procedureOxygen saturation (%) will be assessed by using a monitoring device
Blood pressurepre-intervention, and then every 15 minutes during the procedureSystolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) will be assessed by using a monitoring device
blood pH1 hour pre-proceduralWill be assessed by venous blood gas analysis (number).
blood PaCo21 hour pre-proceduralWill be assessed by venous blood gas analysis (mmHg).
Usages of inotropic and vasopressor agentsDuring the interventionAmount of used inotropic and vasopressor agents during the intervention
blood sugar1 hour pre-procedural, pre-intervention, 8 hours after procedureWill be assessed by venous blood gas analysis (mg/dL).
Sodium1 hour pre-procedural, pre-intervention, 8 hours after procedureWill be assessed by blood test.
Potassium1 hour pre-procedural, pre-intervention, 8 hours after procedureWill be assessed by blood test (mm/L).
Patients general satisfactionDuring the first 24 hours after the procedurePatients general satisfaction with procedure as assessed by the patient satisfaction survey form using Numeric Rating Scale (rang: 0-10, higher scores mean a better outcome)
Sleep qualityDuring the first 24 hours after the procedureSleep quality based on Numeric Rating Scale (rang: 0-10, higher scores mean a better outcome)
Surgical site painDuring the first 24 hours after the procedureSurgical site pain based on Numeric Rating Scale (rang: 0-10, higher scores mean a worse outcome)
Length of ICU stayUp to 30 daysBased on the number of ICU stay nights
Length of hospital stayUp to 30 daysBased on the number of ICU stay nights plus ward stay
Operation site infection rateDuring 30 days after the procedureOperation site (Chest) infection rate via Telephone /follow-up visits
Incidence of deathDuring 30 days after the procedureThe investigators will then divide the causes into 1) operation related and 2) non-operation related causes
blood HCO31 hour pre-proceduralWill be assessed by venous blood gas analysis (mEq/L).
