The Effect on Cerebral Oxygenation of Retrograde Autologous Priming of the Cardiopulmonary Bypass Circuit in Cardiac Surgery Patients

Not Applicable
Conditions
Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction
Interventions
Procedure: retrograde autologous priming
Registration Number
NCT02108093
Lead Sponsor
Amphia Hospital
Brief Summary

The effect of retrograde autologous priming (RAP) on regional cerebral oxygenation (rSO2) still remains unclear, because studies are limited in sample size and study design, and because of the absence of prospective studies. The investigators hypothesize that RAP limits the degree of hemodilution and thereby limits prolonged intraoperative cerebral desaturation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), compared to the conventional priming method.

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether RAP limits the degree of hemodilution and limits prolonged intraoperative cerebral desaturation during cardiopulmonary bypass, compared to the conventional priming method. Prolonged intraoperative cerebral desaturation will be assessed by rSO2 desaturation score50. rSO2 desaturation score50 \> 3000 is associated with increased risk of cognitive decline. The investigators hypothesize that RAP limits the degree of hemodilution and thereby limits the incidence of rSO2 desaturation score50 \> 3000 with a relative difference of 50%.

The subjects who are divided in the RAP group, the retrograde autologous priming technique will be used, where the patient's own circulating blood partially will be replaced by the priming solution in the cardiopulmonary bypass. In the Control group the conventional priming method will be used. The main study parameters is rSO2 desaturation score50.

RAP (retrograde autologous priming) groupretrograde autologous primingIn the RAP (retrograde autologous priming) group, the priming solution is partially replaced by the patient's own circulating blood, before initiation of CPB. After initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass the priming volume is approximately 900 ml.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
prolonged intraoperative cerebral desaturationParticipants will be followed for the duration of the operation period, an expected average of 3 hours

The primary study parameter of this study is prolonged intraoperative cerebral desaturation and will be assessed by rSO2 desaturation score50. rSO2 desaturation score50 \> 3000 is associated with increased risk of cognitive decline. Formula described by Slater et al. : rSO2 score = 50% rSO2 - current rSO2 (%) x time (s) will be used to calculate the rSO2 score; from the intraoperative cerebral oximetry data.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
cerebral oxygenation desaturation episodes (CODE)participants will be followed for the duriation of the operation period, an expected average of 3 hours

CODE will be defined by a reduction of 20% baseline value of rSO2 at least one minute or an absolute reduction of 50%

Subjective Cognitive Failure Questionnaire (CFQ)3 months and 6 months after randomization

Three and six months after randomization the Subjective CFQ will be sent to the patients to evaluate cognition.

blood transfusions (amount)participants will be followed for the duration of ICU stay, an expected average of 2 days/ And participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 3 weeks

The amount of red blood cell transfusions the patient receive pre, peri and postoperatively during their stay in the hospital
