简要总结
Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD) are one of the most common congenital anomalies. Worldwide, 8 to 9 out of 1000 of children are born with a CHD, of which 25 percent of are cyanotic CHD. In Indonesia, the prevalence is 43.200 out of 4.8 million births annually. The morbidity and mortality of cyanotic CHDs in the National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita (NCCHK) are higher than acyanotic CHDs. Open-heart surgery using a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) machine temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lung during surgery. However, the use of CPB has several negative effects such myocardial injury, systemic inflammation, and reperfusion injury. Preoperative hypoxia in cyanotic CHD tends to be associated with a higher risk of myocardial injury. Myocardial protection has an important role in attenuating those effects. Generally, we use a cardioplegia solution as myocardial protection, but there are several non-cardioplegia techniques that can be used to enhance myocardial protection during cardiac bypass, such as adding an anesthetic agent. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is the active dextroisomer of medetomidine, a selective α-2 adrenergic, which has major effects including hypnosis, sedation, and analgesia as well as cardiovascular effects. The sedation is induced by stimulating the α-2 adrenergic receptor in the locus coeruleus (LC) in the pons cerebri. DEX also increases the level of GABA and Galanin and reduces endogenous norepinephrine. The lower level of endogenous norepinephrine decreases the afterload of the ventricles, increases cardiac output, and reduces myocardial injury as a result. Furthermore, the peripheral effects of DEX can reduce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MIR) by inhibiting NF-кB pathway activation and reducing the number of proinflammatory cytokines released. Research related to the priming and infusion of DEX during CPB in patients with cyanotic CHDs who are undergoing open-heart surgery is less reported. The aims of this study are to determine the effectiveness of the priming and infusion of DEX during CPB as myocardial protection by using two different doses compared to the control group. The population included in this study is pediatric patients with cyanotic CHD who are undergoing open-heart surgery using CPB and who classified as 6 to 9 in the Aristotle Score.
详细描述
The investigators will conduct a double-blind randomized controlled trial preliminary study to determine the effectiveness of the priming and infusion of DEX during CPB as myocardial protection by using two different doses compared to the control group. The population included in this study will be pediatric patients with cyanotic CHD who are undergoing open-heart surgery using CPB and who classified as 6 to 9 in the Aristotle Score. This study was approved by the research ethical committee (Institutional Review Board) of the National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita Jakarta (NCCHK). Before randomization, participants who are eligible based on inclusion and exclusion criterias will be given informed consent. If the guardians of the patients agree, the patient will be included in this research. Fifteen pediatric patients with cyanotic CHD will be randomly divided into three groups A, B, and C. Group A is the control group and will be given 50 ml Ringer acetate solution in a 50 ml syringe that will be added to the priming solution in CPB, followed by 50 ml of Ringer acetate solution administered in a syringe pump infusion running at 25 ml/hour and which will be ended by the end of CPB. Group B will received DEX 1 mcg/kg diluted in 50 ml of Ringer acetate solution in a 50 ml syringe added in the priming solution in CPB, followed by 50 ml of Ringer acetate solution administered in a syringe pump infusion running at 25 ml/hour and which will be ended by the end of CPB. Group C will be administered 0.5 mcg/kg DEX, diluted in 50 ml of Ringer acetate solution in a 50 ml syringe added in the priming solution in CPB, followed by 0.25 mcg/kg/hour DEX diluted in 50 ml of Ringer acetate solution administered in a syringe pump infusion running at 25 ml/hour infusion which will be ended by the end of CPB.
Age, gender, body weight, body length, body surface area, Aristotle scores, aortic cross-clamp time, CPB time, and operation time are included as demographics and characteristics data. The investigators will measure myocardial injury biomarker serum levels (Troponin I) and cytokines proinflammatory biomarker serum levels (IL-6) as the primary outcome of myocardial protection. Serum levels of troponin I and IL-6 will be taken 4 times (T1: 5 minutes after induction as baseline level; T2: 1 hour after CPB; T3: 6 hours after CPB, and T4: 24 hours after CPB). Secondary outcomes include hemodynamic profile (Cardiac output, cardiac index, and systemic vascular resistance, at 6 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours after CPB plus serum lactate levels at 5 minutes after induction as baseline level, 1 hour, 6 hours, and 24 hours after CPB), morbidity outcomes (the highest Vasoinotropic Score at the first 24 hours after CPB, length of mechanical ventilation, and length of intensive care stay), and adverse event occurrences such as hypotension and bradycardia (at 5 minutes after induction as baseline level, 1 hour, 6 hours, and 24 hours after CPB).
