The Scientific Method02:40

The Scientific Method

Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.
Psychology as a Science01:13

Psychology as a Science

Psychology, as a scientific discipline, aims to understand the mind and behavior through rigorous and systematic methods. The foundation of psychological research is evidence-based, relying heavily on the scientific method to derive and validate knowledge. This structured approach ensures that findings are reliable, valid, and applicable to broader contexts.
The scientific method in psychology involves six critical steps: making observations, formulating hypotheses, conducting tests, analyzing...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Neuroscience
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Cardiac surgery poses risks of neurological deficits, impacting patient quality of life.
  • Cerebral embolism, reduced oxygenation, and hypoperfusion are key factors in adverse neurologic outcomes.
  • Operative techniques can contribute to these adverse events, necessitating practice improvements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the influence of continuous quality improvement in cardiac surgery.
  • To assess the efficacy of biofeedback using an integrated monitoring system.
  • To reduce the incidence of potentially adverse neurological events during surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized clinical trial will be conducted.
  • Biofeedback will provide real-time information on physiologic functioning.
  • An integrated monitoring system will measure embolic activity, cerebral oxygen saturation, and physiologic parameters.

Main Results:

  • This section is to be filled once the study is completed and results are available.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing practice changes and standardizing techniques can improve clinical outcomes.
  • Optimal intra-operative management is crucial for preventing neurological injury.
  • This project aims to provide a framework for implementing quality improvement in cardiac surgery units.
