For researchers submitting trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov, the Adverse Events module is one of four mandatory results sections. It requires reporting in three primary categories: All-Cause Mortality: A table tracking all deaths that occurred during the study, regardless of cause. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): A tabular summary of events resulting in death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, or significant disability. Other Adverse Events: A table for non-serious events that exceed a specific frequency threshold, such as 5% within any study arm.
Adverse Events Module path is as follows:
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Event Groups
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Serious Events
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Other Events

| Intact Pleurae & Staged Filling of Heart | In this group both pleurae will be left intact and the ventilator disconnected during cardiopulmonary bypass. After completion of the left heart surgery, the heart will be filled with blood actively from the heart-lung machine in a staged manner after adequate cardiac contraction has been established. De-airing will be obtained by active cardiac contraction and staged mechanical ventilation and de-airing monitored by intraoperative trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE). After de-airing is deemed complete and patient has been weaned off the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) the residual air in the left heart will be quantitatively assessed by TEE and Trans-cranial Echo-Doppler (TCD) over a period of 10 minutes. Intact pleurae \& staged filling of heart : After the end of the left heart surgery, the heart is gradually filled with blood from the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit. Cardiac contractions fill the lungs with blood til no more air is seen in left heart on Trans-esophageal Echocar | None | None | 1 | 10 | 1 | 10 | View |
| Open Pleurae & Conventional Filling of Heart | In this group both pleurae will be opened and the ventilator disconnected during cardiopulmonary bypass to ensure bilateral lung collapse. However, after completion of the left heart procedure, the heart will be filled with blood actively from the heart-lung machine and manual de-airing performed in a conventional manner and de-airing monitored by intraoperative trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE). After de-airing is complete and patient has been weaned off the cardiopulmonary bypass the residual air in the left heart will be quantitatively assessed by TEE and Trans-cranial Echo-Doppler (TCD) over a period of 10 minutes. Open pleurae \& conventional filling of heart : After completion of the left heart surgery, the heart will be actively filled with blood from the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit and lungs fully ventilated with positive end-expiratory pressure to flush out all air trapped in the lung veins and left heart.
