Cerebral Energy State in Cardiac Surgery

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Postoperative; Dysfunction Following Cardiac Surgery
Interventions
Procedure: Microdialysis
Registration Number
NCT02846818
Lead Sponsor
Odense University Hospital
Brief Summary

Impaired cerebral function remains an important complication of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during cardiac surgery. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether the lactate to pyruvate (LP) ratio obtained by microdialysis (MD) of the cerebral venous outflow reflects a derangement of global cerebral energy state during cardiopulmonary bypass.

Detailed Description

Patients undergoing primary, elective coronary artery bypass grafting were blindly randomized to usual range MAP (40 to 60 mmHg; n = 5) or intervention group MAP (60 to 80 mmHg; n = 5) during CPB. MD catheters were positioned in a retrograde direction in the internal jugular vein and a reference catheter was inserted into the brachial artery. The relations between LP ratio, MAP, data obtained from bi-frontal NIRS and neurological outcome measures were assessed.

Low mean arterial perfusion pressureMicrodialysis5 patients undergoing primary, elective coronary artery bypass grafting were randomized to usual range MAP (40 to 60 mmHg) during CPB. Microdialysis catheters were positioned in a retrograde direction in the internal jugular vein.
High mean arterial perfusion pressureMicrodialysis5 patients undergoing primary, elective coronary artery bypass grafting were blindly randomized to intervention group MAP (60 to 80 mmHg) during CPB. Microdialysis catheters were positioned in a retrograde direction in the internal jugular vein.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Extracerebral microdialysis parametersMD parameters were measured intraoperatively and for two hours postoperatively

Does the LP ratio of cerebral venous blood increase significantly during CPB indicating compromised cerebral oxidative metabolism.The analyses included the variables routinely monitored during intracerebral microdialysis: glucose, pyruvate, lactate, glutamate, glycerol and lactate to pyruvate ratio.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mini mental state examination (MMSE)Neurological complications with in 2 days after surgery

Patients were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively day two after surgery

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)one day

Right and left frontal rSO2 values were recorded simultaneously pre- and intraoperatively and for two hours postoperatively. Cerebral desaturation was defined as a decrease in the relative rSO2 value of 20 % compared with the individual pre-induction baseline value
