An interventional study of Coronary angiogram and Right heart catheterization in Heart Diseases, sponsored by Virginia Commonwealth University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-05-16.
Sponsored by Virginia Commonwealth University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
Moderate sedation is used in the catheterization laboratory relieve the anxiety and discomfort associated with access and other aspects of the procedure. Whether being in a fasting state (nothing per os, NPO) at the time of the procedure is beneficial or harmful is not well known, but patients are typically required to be fasting at the time of elective procedures, guidance derived from procedures that require general anesthesia. Whereas the typical thinking was that fasting prior to procedures would minimize the risk of aspiration in the event of intubation, or nausea and other symptoms generally, several studies have shown that prolonged fasting prior to procedures is associated with increased nausea, vomiting, aspiration and procedure recovery time.
We aim to evaluate patient satisfaction, nausea and immediate outcomes of patients who are not kept NPO prior to cardiac catheterization.

Pre-procedure wellness score (hunger, tiredness, anxiety, nausea)
We get a wellness score prior to the procedure (right before the patient is taken into the lab) and is on a 0-5 scale with 0 being very happy and 5 being very unhappy.
Time frame: Baseline (Prior to procedure)
Intra- and post-procedural vomiting, aspiration, and intubation checklist
We review the chart and ask the participant if they had any vomiting. We also review the chart to see if there are any reports/concern of aspiration and follow up on any chest X-rays that were obtained.
Time frame: Within 24 hours after the procedure
Plan to share: Yes — Data sharing will be considered upon each individual request.
