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.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Open-heart cardiac surgery, defined as surgery on the heart or aorta that requires sternotomy or thoracotomy.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Current acute coronary syndrome (defined as ST elevation myocardial infarction or non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (troponin leak within 72 hours of surgery or consent +/- EKG changes consistent with myocardial ischemia)).
  • Home supplemental oxygen use.
  • Preoperative supplemental oxygen requirement to maintain arterial O2 sat of 92%.
  • Right to left intracardiac shunt including atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect with Cor Pulmonale.
  • Carotid stenosis defined as >50% stenosis.
  • Cardiac surgery that requires intraoperative circulatory arrest, such as aortic arch replacement.
  • Current use of hemo- or peritoneal dialysis.
  • Pregnancy

Arms & Interventions

Normoxia

Experimental

Oxygen administration to maintain a hemoglobin oxygen saturation of 95-97% or arterial PaO2 80-110 mmHg during surgery.

Intervention: Oxygen - normoxia (Drug)

Hyperoxia

Active Comparator

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
