Study Overview
Brief Summary
Supraventricular arrhythmias complicate more than 40% of cardiac surgeries and are associated with an increased risk of bleeding, stroke, heart failure, and death. Preventing the occurrence of these arrhythmias is a major challenge. This study aims to investigate risk factors and protective factors regarding atrial fibrillation and other iatrogenic cardiac arrhythmias after cardiac surgery, particularly innovative anesthetic strategies such as stellar ganglion blockade which have been recently implemented in our center.
Detailed Description
STUDY OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study is to compare atrial fibrillation incidence between patients having undergone a cardiac surgery with a stellate ganglion block and patients having undergone a cardiac surgery without a stellate ganglion block .
STUDY PROCEDURES
This study does not require any additional examinations or specific treatments. It uses information already routinely available in the CHR Mercy electronic medical record systems (Diane, Metavision, dxCare).
This is a prospective single-center study. Patients referred for cardiac surgery (both off-pump and on-pump procedures) will be included for data collection between June 2026 and June 2029. The use of a stellate ganglion block after a cardiac surgery is a routine practice in our hospital that varies depending on the intensivist and/or the time period.
