Accuryn Monitoring System for Cardiac Surgery
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to collect information from patients who have undergone heart surgery using the Accuryn Monitoring System. The goal is to gather data on patients' bodily responses during and after surgery. This information could help improve care for future heart surgery patients. Individuals who recently had heart surgery and were monitored with the Accuryn System during their hospital stay are ideal candidates for this trial. As an unphased trial, this study offers patients the opportunity to contribute valuable insights that could enhance heart surgery outcomes for others.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the study team or your doctor.
What prior data suggests that the Accuryn Monitoring System is safe for cardiovascular surgery patients?
Research has shown that the Accuryn Monitoring System is FDA-approved, indicating its safety in certain situations. It monitors key body signals, such as urine output and temperature, in patients during and after heart surgery. The system aims to detect kidney problems early by continuously checking urine output.
Past studies have shown that patients have responded positively to the Accuryn System. As a closed system, it reduces the risk of infections, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), by limiting exposure to germs, making it safer than systems that are not closed.
Overall, evidence suggests that the Accuryn Monitoring System is safe for patients undergoing heart surgery, providing doctors with crucial information without adding extra risk.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the Accuryn Monitoring System because it offers a new way to closely track patients undergoing cardiovascular surgeries. Unlike traditional monitoring methods, Accuryn provides real-time data on vital parameters like fluid levels and organ function right at the bedside. This continuous and precise monitoring could lead to quicker interventions, potentially improving patient outcomes during their hospital stay. By enhancing the standard of care with advanced technology, the Accuryn system aims to set a new benchmark in patient monitoring.
What evidence suggests that the Accuryn Monitoring System is effective for cardiovascular surgery patients?
Research has shown that the Accuryn Monitoring System, used to monitor participants in this trial, effectively detects acute kidney injury (AKI) early in patients undergoing heart surgery. In a study involving over 500 patients, the system identified AKI 33 hours earlier than standard methods that assess kidney function through blood tests. Early detection of AKI can lead to better treatment and outcomes. Additionally, the system tracks abdominal pressure, which is crucial for managing high abdominal pressure and potentially enhancing patient care in the intensive care unit (ICU). Therefore, strong evidence supports the Accuryn Monitoring System as a valuable tool for monitoring and improving care in heart surgery patients.678910
