Not Applicable

Condition

Registration Number
NCT04505059
Lead Sponsor
China National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases
Brief Summary

This is a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, randomized clinical trials.

Detailed Description

Prospective randomized multi-center trial involving about 502 subjects will be enrolled in 3 centers. Patients will be randomized to two groups in equal proportion. Investigators set a hypothesis that precision cardiac anesthesia, which involves the modification of several crucial anesthetic modalities, would reduces the incidence of postoperative cognitive function and delirium in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of postoperative deliriumPostoperative day 1 to 5

Delirium assessed by using Confusion Assessment Method-ICU (CAM-ICU) in the postoperative period

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Length of stayup to 2 months after surgery

Length of hospital and ICU stay

S-100β proteinBefore surgery, 6h, postoperative day 1 (POD1) morning, 24h after surgery

Blood Biomarker (S-100β protein)

Postoperative painPostoperative day 1 to 5, at 1,6 and 12 months after surgery

Assessed by NRS (from 0 to 10, higher scores mean a worse outcome)

Postoperative cognitive functionIn hospital,up to 10 days, at 1,6 and 12 months after surgery

Assessed by MoCA (score range from 0 to 30, higher scores mean a better outcome) or MMSE (score range from 0 to 30, higher scores mean a better outcome)

TNF-αBefore surgery, 6h, postoperative day 1(POD1 )morning, 24h after surgery

Inflammatory factor (TNF-α)

CRPBefore surgery, 6h, postoperative day 1 (POD1) morning, 24h after surgery

Blood Biomarker (CRP)

GenotypeBefore surgery

Number of participants with target gene

Ventilation timeup to 1 month after surgery

Mechanical ventilation time after surgery

PONVPostoperative day 1 to 5

To quantify postoperative nausea and vomiting the following score was used:

0 = no nausea, 1 = nausea, 2 = retching, 3 = single vomiting, 4 = multiple vomiting.

IL-6, IL-8, IL-10Before surgery, 6h, postoperative day 1 (POD1) morning, 24h,after surgery

Inflammatory factor (IL-6, IL-8, IL-10)

IGF-1Before surgery, 6h, postoperative day 1 (POD1) morning, 24h after surgery

Blood Biomarker (IGF-1)

Costup to 2 months after surgery

health care costs of hospital and ICU
