Clinically-Based RegistrySubcommittee

Chair:

Donald S. Likosky, Ph.D.

Objectives:

The mission of the registry subcommittee is to maintain a registry of the practice of cardiopulmonary bypass, and synthesize and share useful and actionable clinical information from this registry to engage and improve continuously the care provided to patients.

 

1. Development of a clinically-based perfusion registry: Large cardiac surgery registries exist, but most are not focused on the practice of cardiopulmonary bypass.  

2. Determine areas of focus: The registry subcommittee chose the following areas of focus:

a. Patient demographics (to adjust for potential patient-level confounders)

b. Compliance with guidelines/recommendations on the practice of cardiopulmonary bypass (amend list as the ICEBP publishes guidelines)

c. ell processing and filtration

d. Renal management

e. Factors influencing patients having low cardiac output subsequent to surgery

3. Develop version 1 of the registry form: The goal of the registry subcommittee is to develop version 1 of the form and pilot it at selected sites prior to the ICEBP Best Practice Perfusion 2007 conference in October.  This registry form requires explicit definitions for each variable, and consistency with other large registries that centers may already participate in to ease the burden of data collection.

 

Current Projects:

Develop version 1 of the registry form and ensure consistency with STS and other large cardiac surgery registries.
