Postoperative Complications
Interventions
Drug: reducing anticholinergic burden
Registration Number
NCT06349057
Lead Sponsor
Ankara City Hospital Bilkent
Brief Summary

Many drugs have anticholinergic activity. This means that it blocks the muscarinic binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

In this study, the anticholinergic burden of the patients in the perioperative period will be calculated with the Anticholinergic Cognitive Burden Scale (ACBS) and patients with a score of 1 or above will be included in the study. Anticholinergic load of drugs used in the intraoperative period; Its effect on postoperative hospital stay, morbidity and mortality following elective heart surgery will be investigated.

GroupInterventionDescription
Remifentanyl, Propofol, Sevoflurane / Desflurane, Propofolreducing anticholinergic burdenPreoperative period : There will be no intervention. Intraoperative period : An erector spinae plane block will be applied before anesthesia induction. Drugs with cholinergic burden will not be preferred. Lower anticholinergic drugs will be used. There will be no intervention in the surgical procedure. Postoperative period : Drugs with high cholinergic burden will not be used. Lower anticholinergic drugs will be used. Intraoperative and postoperative periods, instead of drugs with high anticholinergic burden; lower burden drugs will be preferred. High anticholinergic burden drugs: (Fentanyl - Talinat®, Tramadol- Contamal®, Midazolam - Dormicum®, Pancuronium-Mivacron®) Lower burden drugs : (Remifentanyl-Ultiva®, Sevoflurane-Sevoflurane USP® , Desflurane-Suprane®, Propofol-Propofol®, Rocuronium-Esmeron®, Lidocaine-Aritmal®)
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
MortalityPostoperative 90 days

The patient will be visited every day during his/her stay in the hospital, and then the patient will be contacted by phone on the 90th day.Patient information will be checked from the hospital database.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Effects on postoperative recoveryPostoperative 90 days

Fraility and the recovery processes of the patients in both preoperative and the postoperative period will be recorded using The Clinical Frailty Scale (which is a nine-point scale based on clinical evaluation of mobility, energy, physical activity, and function.

1-Very Fit 2 -Well 3-Managing Well 4 -Vulnerable 5 -Mildly Frail 6-Moderately Frail 7-Severely Frail 8-Very Severely Frail 9-Terminally Ill

Postoperative complicationPostoperative 90 days

It will be monitored whether complications develop and reported if tehy occur, within 90 days.

* Cardiac arrest,

* Cardiac reoperation for bleeding

* Cardiac reoperation other than bleeding

* Deep sternal wound infection

* Stroke (ischemic/hemorrhagic)

* Pneumonia / Pulmonary edema / Pleural effusion

* Infection (urinary infection,wound infection, catheter infection, meningitis, mediastinitis, sepsis)

* Acute renal failure (to be assessed by the KDIGO criteria; increase in sCr ≥0.3 mg/dL (≥26.5 μmol/L) within 48 hours; or increase in sCr ≥1.5 times baseline, which is known or presumed to have occurred within the prior 7 days; or 3 Urine volume \<0.5 mL/kg/h for 6 hours)

The patient will be visited every day during his/her stay in the hospital, and then the patient will be contacted by phone on the 90th day. Patient information will be checked from the hospital database.
