Trial summary

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning(RIPC) and remote ischemic postconditioning(RIPoC) seems to have a protective effect during ischemic period. Using cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) during open heart surgery reduces pulmonary blood flow and may cause ischemic damage to lung tissue. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning and Postconditioning on Lung Ischemic-reperfusion Injury During Cardiopulmonary Bypass - Substudy of NCT00997217

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning(RIPC) and remote ischemic postconditioning(RIPoC) seems to have a protective effect during ischemic period. Using cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) during open heart surgery reduces pulmonary blood flow and may cause ischemic damage to lung tissue. The investigators anticipate that RIPC and RIPoC may reduce lung injury after CPB.

Read the detailed description

Cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) can cause lung function deterioration through various mechanisms. Lung parenchymal tissue ischemia resulted by pulmonary atelectasis and decreased bronchial circulation during CPB is one of the reasons. There were few studies reported that RIPC and RIPoCcan benefit lung function of children or infant after CPB, but studies about adults are still lacking.

Purpose:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate effect of RIPC and RIPoC on the lung function after CPB.

Methods:

Patients will randomly allocated either in study group or control group. Study group will receive RIPC and RIPoC maneuver before and after CPB. Control group will have same automated cuff around their arm but it will not activated. Care givers will be blinded whether the automated cuff is on or not.

We will compare pulmonary parameters (PaO2/FiO2, dynamic and static compliances, Intrapulmonary shunts, etc.) between study group and control group, and check levels of plasma cytokines(IL-4, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-alpha) till 24hr after the operation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • remote ischemic preconditioning and postconditioningProcedure or surgery

    RIPC is done before the use of CPB. It consists of 4 cycles of 5 minutes inflation of pneumatic cuff to 200 mmHg and deflation for 5 minutes. RIPoC is exactly same procedure done "after" CPB.

  • ControlProcedure or surgery

    This group has same pneumatic cuff during the surgery, but it is not inflated during the surgery

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. arterial partial pressure of oxygen divided by fraction of inspired oxygen

    follow up PaO2/FiO2 during operation and after the opreation for 24 hours

    Measured: within 24hr after the surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. plasma cytokines

    follow up plasma IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-alpha levels during the surgery and within 24hr after the surgery

    Measured: within 24hr after the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing remote ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning in people with Acute Lung Injury, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

arterial partial pressure of oxygen divided by fraction of inspired oxygen (time frame: within 24hr after the surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Jun 2014.
