Study Overview
Brief Summary
The investigators will recruit and randomize 200 elective cardiac surgery patients to receive physiologic oxygenation (normoxia) or hyper-oxygenation (hyperoxia) during surgery to test the hypothesis that intraoperative physiologic oxygenation decreases the generation of reactive oxygen species, oxidative damage, and postoperative organ injury compared to hyper-oxygenation.

Arms & Interventions
Normoxia
Oxygen administration to maintain a hemoglobin oxygen saturation of 95-97% or arterial PaO2 80-110 mmHg during surgery.
Intervention: Oxygen - normoxia (Drug)
Hyperoxia
Fraction of inspired oxygen 1.0 during mechanical ventilation and 0.8 during cardiopulmonary bypass during surgery.
Intervention: Oxygen - hyperoxia (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Intraoperative Systemic Oxidative Damage
Time Frame: separation from cardiopulmonary bypass or completion of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (approximately 3-5 hours into surgery and intervention)
quantified by measuring F2-isoprostanes isofurans following separation from cardiopulmonary bypass or completion of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
Acute Kidney Injury
Time Frame: baseline to postoperative day 2
quantified by change in serum creatinine concentration
