About this trial

Bedrest is usually prescribed for patients management after cardiac electronic device implantation (CIED) in order to prevent complication. Due to the lack of guidelines available on the timing of postoperative mobilization management, the aim of the study is to evaluate the safety of early mobilization, comparing mobilization at 4-h against day-after procedure.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Composite endpoint: pacing lead dislodgement, pocket hematoma, pneumothorax, and pericardial effusion

Incidence of post-operatory complications (composite endpoint). Non inferiority margin 5%

Time frame
Within 48 hours post operative

Secondary outcomes

1

Post-operative pain

Pain will be assessed with the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scale ranging from 0 to 10 (0 corresponds to no pain and 10 to maximal level of pain).

Time frame
24 hours
2

Sleep disturbance

Quality of sleep will be assessed using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ), which ranges from 0 to 500 points, where 0 indicates the worst possible sleep quality and 500 the best possible. The sub-scores include sleep depth, sleep latency, number of awakenings, return to sleep after awakening, and overall sleep quality (each ranging from 0 to 100 points).

Time frame
The first night after surgery
3

Number of participants with postoperative urinary retention

Number of participants requiring an intervention such as a Foley catheter or catheterization

Time frame
Within 24 hours post operative
4

Number of participants developing postoperative delirium

Number of participants who develop postoperative delirium, as assessed by the 3-Minute Diagnostic Interview for Confusion Assessment Method (3D-CAM)

Time frame
Within 24 hours post operative

Other outcomes

1

Incidence of pacing lead dislodgement, pocket hematoma, pneumothorax, pericardial effusion, and pocket infection

Number of patients suffering with post-operatory complications

Time frame
3 month
