Desflurane-induced Myocardial Protection

Phase 4
Conditions
Aortic Valve Stenosis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02019797
Lead Sponsor
Nobuyuki Katori
Brief Summary

This study examines pharmacological preconditioning and post conditioning of desflurane by comparing cardiac troponin release in patients receiving either desflurane or propofol for the aortic valve surgery.

Detailed Description

Patients scheduled for aortic valve replacement with use of cardiopulmonary bypass are included in the study. Patients are assigned to desflurane group (Des) or propofol group (Prop). Des receives desflurane (1-2 MAC) inhalation between the induction of anesthesia and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). After the induction of CPB, the anesthesia in Des is switched to a total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol. Prop receives a TIVA during the surgery. All patients receive a continuous infusion of remifentanil. Biomarker of myocardial damage troponin I is examined at 4 points; T1: after the induction of anesthesia, T2: arrival at ICU, T3: 12 hours after the ICU arrival, T4: 24 hours after the ICU arrival, T5: third post operative day (3POD).
