Fasting Versus Non-Fasting for Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (FastCIED Study)

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: Clear fluids and food up to up to 1 hour before the procedure
Registration Number
NCT04389697
Lead Sponsor
Helios Health Institute GmbH
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

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patients well-beingDuring the first 24 hours after the procedure

Post-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 Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
blood PaCo21 hour pre-procedural

Will be assessed by venous blood gas analysis (mmHg).

Surgical site painDuring the first 24 hours after the procedure

Surgical site pain based on Numeric Rating Scale (rang: 0-10, higher scores mean a worse outcome)

Patients general satisfactionDuring the first 24 hours after the procedure

Patients 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)

Serum urea level1 hour pre-procedural, during the first 24 hours after the procedure

Serum urea (mg/dL)

Serum creatinine level1 hour pre-procedural, during the first 24 hours after the procedure

Serum creatinine (mg/dL)

Oxygen saturationpre-intervention, and then every 15 minutes during the procedure

Oxygen saturation (%) will be assessed by using a monitoring device

blood pH1 hour pre-procedural

Will be assessed by venous blood gas analysis (number).

Length of ICU stayUp to 30 days

Based on the number of ICU stay nights

Length of hospital stayUp to 30 days

Based on the number of ICU stay nights plus ward stay

Usage of sedativesDuring the intervention

Amount of used sedative agents during the intervention

eGFR1 hour pre-procedural, during the first 24 hours after the procedure

GFR 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.

Blood pressurepre-intervention, and then every 15 minutes during the procedure

Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) will be assessed by using a monitoring device

blood sugar1 hour pre-procedural, pre-intervention, 8 hours after procedure

Will be assessed by venous blood gas analysis (mg/dL).

Sodium1 hour pre-procedural, pre-intervention, 8 hours after procedure

Will be assessed by blood test.

Usage of analgesicsDuring the intervention

Amount of used analgesics agents during the intervention

Usage anti-vomiting agentsDuring the intervention

Amount of used anti-vomiting agents during the intervention

Usages of inotropic and vasopressor agentsDuring the intervention

Amount of used inotropic and vasopressor agents during the intervention

Heart ratepre-intervention, and then every 15 minutes during the procedure

Heart rate (frequency per minute) will be assessed by using a monitoring device

blood HCO31 hour pre-procedural

Will be assessed by venous blood gas analysis (mEq/L).

Potassium1 hour pre-procedural, pre-intervention, 8 hours after procedure

Will be assessed by blood test (mm/L).

Incidence of deathDuring 30 days after the procedure

The investigators will then divide the causes into 1) operation related and 2) non-operation related causes

Sleep qualityDuring the first 24 hours after the procedure

Sleep quality based on Numeric Rating Scale (rang: 0-10, higher scores mean a better outcome)

Operation site infection rateDuring 30 days after the procedure

Operation site (Chest) infection rate via Telephone /follow-up visits
