Feasibility of Stroke Screening Tools in Cardiac Surgery Patients

NCT05447728 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 60

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients undergoing cardiac surgery have a higher risk of postoperative stroke than patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Our ability to detect postoperative stroke in this population lags behind other postoperative complications which impacts outcomes for patients eligible for medical intervention. Screening tools have been successful in detecting prehospital stroke with good accuracy, but these tools have not been validated in a postoperative setting. The aim of this pilot study is to use determine the feasibility of using prehospital stroke scales in a post-cardiac surgery population, identify barriers for scale completion, and determine non-stroke factors that may affect screening scores.
