This study asks patients and their families about their experience after heart surgery (like bypass or valve repair) to help doctors improve follow-up care. You'll share your story through an interview, and your feedback could help future patients.
This study looks at why some people develop an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) after heart surgery. By studying patients who had surgery, researchers hope to identify warning signs and risk factors that could help prevent this complication.
This study tests whether it is safe and better to wake up and breathe on your own while still in the operating room after heart surgery, instead of being kept asleep on a breathing machine in the ICU. If you qualify, this could lead to a faster recovery.
This study looks at how to predict and diagnose stomach and bowel problems in people having heart surgery. It may help doctors identify who is at higher risk and catch issues early.
This study looks at reasons why patients might need to come back to the intensive care unit (ICU) within a short time after being discharged. It may help doctors improve care and prevent early readmissions.
This study looks at patients who are in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after having surgery at this hospital. Researchers want to understand how general surgery patients do while in the ICU.
