About this study

Official title: Blood Pressure or Cardiac Output - the Influence on Cerebral Perfusion During Cardiopulmonary Bypass

The purpose of this study is to determine whether cerebral blood flow and cerebral tissue oxygenation is most dependent on cardiac output or on mean arterial pressure in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.

Being tested
50-100ug phenylephrine before CPB, 50-100ug phenylephrine during CPB, decreasing CPB flow, Decreasing CPB flow AND 50-100ug phenylephrine, Increasing CPB flow

What participants receive

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

  • 50-100ug phenylephrine before CPBOther

    In this intervention we will administer 50-100 μg phenylephrine to the patient before CPB is started. This intervention will take place when the patient shows hypotension (MAP <60mmHg, according to protocol22). Because of the increase in PVR there will be a baroreceptor-reflex-mediated decrease in CO. On-line, we will quantify the percentage decrease in systemic blood flow (i.e. CO) by using the Modelflow algoritm incorporated in a non-invasive beat-to-beat finger blood pressure monitor. This will allow us to obtain a reference for the decrease in CO to use in the next interventions. Our hypothesis is that CO will decrease because of the baroreceptor-reflex. During this intervention NIRS and TCD MCA will be recorded.

  • 50-100ug phenylephrine during CPBOther

    In this intervention we will induce only 1 component of the changes at intervention (1), being the increase in MAP of approximately 20 mmHg by administrating 50-100 μg phenylephrine. The CPB enables us to maintain a constant CO and thus eliminating the baroreceptor-reflex. During this intervention NIRS and TCD MCA will be recorded.

  • decreasing CPB flowOther

    With this intervention we will only create a change in CO, which enables us to eliminate the effect of blood pressure. We will modify CPB flow to achieve the CO decrease (in %) measured at intervention (1) meaning: pre-CPB after the bolus of 50-100 μg phenylephrine. In the case of unexpected increase (in %) of CO measured at intervention (1), we will still decrease CPB flow so we will be able to analyse decrease as well as increase in CPB flow. During this intervention NIRS and TCD MCA will be recorded.

  • Decreasing CPB flow AND 50-100ug phenylephrineOther

    In this intervention we will simulate the 'normal' physiological state when administering phenylephrine. We will modify CPB flow to achieve the percentage change CO as observed during intervention (1) as well as administrate 50-100 μg phenylephrine. We expect to see similar outcomes as in intervention (1). During this intervention NIRS and TCD MCA will be recorded.

  • Increasing CPB flowOther

    In this last intervention we will create an increase in MAP without using phenylephrine but only by increasing CO. This enables us to eliminate a possible direct α1-adrenergic effect on the cerebral vasculature. MAP will be raised approximately 20 mmHg by increasing CPB flow 20%. During this intervention NIRS and TCD MCA will be recorded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 50-100ug phenylephrine before CPB, 50-100ug phenylephrine during CPB and decreasing CPB flow in people with Cerebral Perfusion and Cerebral Oxygenation, run by UMC Utrecht at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 8 Jun 2017. 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 Netherlands. 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. 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?

regional cerebral oxygen saturation (time frame: During surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Jun 2017.
