Effects of Topical Local Anesthesia of Pulmonary Vein Combined With Vagus Nerve Block on the Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation After Thoracic Surgery

Not Applicable
Conditions
Atrial Fibrillation
Interventions
Procedure: topical local anesthesia of pulmonary vein combined with vagus nerve block
Registration Number
NCT03919786
Lead Sponsor
Han Yuan
Brief Summary

This study intends to explore a new therapy to reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation in thoracic patient who receive video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy .The results of the study are to assess the effects of this new intervention on the incidence,duration of atrial fibrillation and other complications including postoperative delirium after video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy .And reducing the burden of POAF on patients and their families, hospitals and public resources.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
incidence of POAF72 hours after surgery

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.

Secondary Outcome Measures

the Trail Making Test3-6months after surgery

the neuropsychological test to measure cognitive function

the Grooved Pegboard Test3-6months after surgery

the Word Fluency Test3-6months after surgery

the neuropsychological test to measure cognitive function

the Building Block Test3-6months after surgery

the neuropsychological test to measure cognitive function

Mini-Mental score examination (MMSE)1 day before surgery(baseline),6±1 days after surgery,one month after surgery

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

Quality of Recovery Score - 40 (QoR-40)1 day before surgery(baseline),1 day after surgery

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).

specific time of POAF72 hours after surgery

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

incidence of other arrhythmia15-30 days after surgery

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

Ventricular rate during POAF72 hours after surgery

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

Incidence of postoperative deliriumbefore discharge from PACU,twice a day every 12 hours within 3 days after surgery

Confusion Assessment Method(CAM) to measure delirium

Numerical Rating Scale(NRS)before discharge from PACU,twice a day every 12 hours within 3 days after surgery

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

incidence of POAF15-30 days after surgery

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