Development and Evaluation of the Impact of a Safety Checklist Adapted to Interventional Cardiology

Not Applicable
Conditions
Complication of Surgical Procedure
Registration Number
NCT04205825
Lead Sponsor
Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau
Brief Summary

The hypothesis is that patients undergoing cardiac catheterization, in which the New Safety Checklist has been used, have fewer perioperative complications compared to patients in which the habitual practice has been used.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to develop a New Safety Checklist in perioperative patients undergoing cardiac catheterization in interventional cardiology units and assess it impact on the incidence of perioperative complications compared to habitual practice.

The study will consist in two phases; the first phase: development of the New Safety Checklist, and the second phase will be a multicenter randomized clinical trial, a parallel two-arm corresponding to the use of the New Safety Checklist compared to the habitual practice in all patients undergoing cardiac catheterization in interventional cardiology units, according to the inclusion criteria..

The expected number of patients in this trial will be 6000. The principal outcome of this study will be: the incidence of perioperative complications. The secondary outcomes will be: socio-demographic data, clinical patient data and procedure type data. Data collection will be done through reviewing clinical history.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
INCIDENCE of PERIOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONSfrom the discharge or up to 24 hours post-procedure

The perioperative complications will be collected after randomization, from discharge or up to24 hours post-procedure.

The clinical history will be reviewed to evaluate the incidence of complications. Expected complications will be: severe systemic complications (major cardiovascular events \[MACE\], coronary artery complications, and structural complications), peripheral vascular complications, and reactions to contrast media.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Procedure datafrom the discharge or up to 24 hours post-procedure

Procedure data will be collected after randomization, from the discharge or up to 24 hours post-procedure.

The clinical history will be reviewed to collect procedure data, tipe of procedure done (coronary, structural, diagnostic procedure, right catheterization).

Socio-demographic datafrom the discharge or up to 24 hours post-procedure

Socio-demographic data will be collected after randomization, from the discharge or up to 24 hours post-procedure.

The clinical history will be reviewed to collect socio-demographic data: gender (male/female), age (absolute value), weight (kilograms) and height (centimeters).

Clinical datafrom the discharge or up to 24 hours post-procedure

Clinical data will be collected after randomization, from the discharge or up to 24 hours post-procedure.

The clinical history will be reviewed to collect cardiovascular risk factors (dyslipemia, smoking), clinical record (medical allergies, ischemic, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias, disease pulmonary, platelet antiaggregant treatment).
