Dextran-based Priming vs. Crystalloid and Mannitol-based Priming Solution in Adult Cardiac Surgery

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Heart Disease
Interventions
Device: Ringer-Acetate and Mannitol
Device: A colloid Dextran 40 solution for extracorporeal circulation
Registration Number
NCT02767154
Lead Sponsor
Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sweden
Brief Summary

This study will compare two priming solutions for extracorporeal circulation, one based on Dextran 40, one based on crystalloid and mannitol. Primary endpoint is oncotic pressure during cardiopulmonary bypass. Secondary endpoints included fluid balance and organ functions.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, single center, double-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial. Eighty patients are randomized 1:1 to either cardiopulmonary bypass with the dextran-based solution or standard priming with Ringer-Acetate and Mannitol.

Primary endpoint will be oncotic pressure during cardio pulmonary bypass. Secondary endpoints include perioperative fluid balance, coagulation, platelet function, postoperative bleeding volume, transfusion requirements, renal function, liver function, pulmonary function, inflammatory activation and markers for brain and heart injury.

Blood samples for oncotic pressure measurements will be collected from an arterial line before and during surgery. Organ function will be assessed before surgery and 2 hours cardio pulmonary bypass.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in oncotic pressure in plasmaAfter 1 hour of cardiopulmonary bypass

The oncotic pressure in plasma is measured using an Osmomat 050 and reported in kPa. Points of measurement is before ECC and at 60 minutes into ECC

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in coagulation (2).Within 2 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass

Blood samples will be analyzed calibrated automated thrombography. Points of measurement will be before ECC and at 2 hours post-ECC. Results will be reported as normal, above normal or below normal.

Change in platelet functionWithin 2 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass

Platelet function will be measured with impedance aggregometry (Multiplate). Points of measurement will be before ECC and at 2 hours post-ECC. Results will be reported as normal or below normal.

Amount of transfusionsWithin 24 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass

Transfusions of red blood cells, platelets and plasma from ECC-start until 24 hours post-ECC are registered and reported in ml.

Amount of bleedingWithin 24 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass

Bleeding is registered from ECC-start until 24 hours post-ECC. Intraoperative bleeding and postoperative chest tube drainage for 24 hours are added and registered in ml.

Change in liver function (2)Within 2 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass

The liver function is measured as µkat/L of ALAT in serum. Points of measurement will be before ECC and at 2 hours post-ECC.

Change in pulmonary functionWithin 2 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass

The pulmonary function is measured by arterial blood gases assessing PaO2/FiO2 and reported in mmHg. Points of measurement will be before ECC and at 2 hours post-ECC.

Change in brain injury marker (4)Within 2 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass

Brain damage is measured as µg/L of NSE in serum. Points of measurement will be before ECC and at 2 hours post-ECC.

Change in renal function (1)Within 2 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass

Renal function is measured as µmol/L of Creatinine in serum. Points of measurement will be before ECC and at 2 hours post-ECC.

Change in inflammatory activationWithin 2 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass

Inflammatory activation is measured as ng/L of IL-6 in plasma. Points of measurement will be before ECC and at 2 hours post-ECC.

Change in fluid balanceWithin 24 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass

Patient fluid balance is registered from ECC-start until 24 hours post-ECC. Infusion of crystalloids and colloids and urine output is registered in ml.

Change in renal function (2)After 1 hour of cardiopulmonary bypass

Renal tubular damage is measured by analysis of U-NAG. Urine is collected before ECC and at 60 minutes into ECC. Results will be reported as U-NAG/U-Creatinine ratio (U/min).

Change in coagulation (1).Within 2 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass

Blood samples will be analyzed with modified rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and calibrated automated thrombography. Points of measurement will be before ECC and at 2 hours post-ECC. Results will be reported as normal, above normal or below normal.

Change in liver function (1)Within 2 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass

The liver function is measured as µkat/L of ASAT in serum. Points of measurement will be before ECC and at 2 hours post-ECC.

Change in brain injury marker (1)Within 2 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass

Brain damage is measured as ng/L Tau in plasma. Points of measurement will be before ECC and at 2 hours post-ECC.

Change in ischemic heart injury marker.Within 24 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass

The ischemic status of the heart is measures as ng/L of highly sensitive Troponin-T. Points of measurement will be before ECC and at 24 hours post-ECC.

Change in brain injury marker (3)Within 2 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass

Brain damage is measured as µg/L of S100B in serum. Points of measurement will be before ECC and at 2 hours post-ECC.

Change in brain injury marker (2)Within 2 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass

Brain damage is measured as ng/L of NFL in serum. Points of measurement will be before ECC and at 2 hours post-ECC.
