JTCVS open, Volume 8, 21 3 2021, Pages 668-676 Incidence and risk factors of unplanned emergency department visits following thoracic surgery. Hazewinkel MHJ, Berendsen RR, van Klink RCJ, Dik H, Wink J, Braun J, de Lind van Wijngaarden RAF
Background: Unplanned visits for care following a surgical procedure can represent a lapse in quality of care. The purpose of this study was to define the proportion of patients undergoing thoracic surgery who return to the emergency department (ED) within 6 months after discharge and the reasons for the returns. In addition, the risk factors for ED visits after thoracic surgery were identified. Methods: All adult patients undergoing thoracic surgery at the Leiden University Medical Center betwe... Abstract

Journal of patient safety, Volume 17, Issue 3, 1 1 2021, Pages 157-165 Preoperative Anticoagulation Management in Everyday Clinical Practice: An International Comparative Analysis of Work-as-Done Using the Functional Resonance Analysis Method. Damen NL, de Vos MS, Moesker MJ, Braithwaite J, de Lind van Wijngaarden RAF, Kaplan J, Hamming JF, Clay-Williams R
Objectives: Preoperative anticoagulation management (PAM) is a complex, multidisciplinary process important to patient safety. The Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) is a novel method to study how complex processes usually go right at the frontline (labeled Safety-II) and how this relates to predefined procedures. This study aimed to assess PAM in everyday practice and explore the usability and utility of FRAM. Methods: The study was conducted at an Australian and European Cardiothoraci... Abstract

JMIR research protocols, Volume 9, Issue 4, 21 3 2020, Pages e16326 Use of Smart Technology for the Early Diagnosis of Complications After Cardiac Surgery: The Box 2.0 Study Protocol. Biersteker TE, Boogers MJ, de Lind van Wijngaarden RA, Groenwold RH, Trines SA, van Alem AP, Kirchhof CJ, van Hof N, Klautz RJ, Schalij MJ, Treskes RW
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF), sternal wound infection, and cardiac decompensation are complications that can occur after cardiac surgery. Early detection of these complications is clinically relevant, as early treatment is associated with better clinical outcomes. Remote monitoring with the use of a smartphone (mobile health [mHealth]) might improve the early detection of complications after cardiac surgery. Objective: The primary aim of this study is to compare the detection rate of AF... Abstract

Seminars in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, Volume 31, Issue 3, 8 2 2018, Pages 383-391 Developing a Quality Standard for Verbal Communication During CABG Procedures. de Lind van Wijngaarden RAF, Siregar S, Legué J, Fraaije A, Abbas A, Dankelman J, Klautz RJM
Verbal communication during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedures is essential for safe and efficient cardiac surgery, yet sensitive to failure due to a current lack of standardization. The goal of this study was to improve communication during CABG by identifying critical items in verbal interaction between surgeons, anesthetists, and perfusionists. Based on 6 video recordings, a list was assembled containing items of communication in CABG procedures. Personal interviews and a consecut... Abstract
