About this study

Official title: Effects of PEEP on Parameters of Tissue Perfusion and Clinical Outcomes After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery - a Randomized Clinical Trial

Pulmonary dysfunction is a condition inherent in cardiac surgery because of various interventions, such as general anesthesia, a median sternotomy, cardiopulmonary bypass and establishment of internal thoracic artery dissection.

In situations when there is a deterioration in oxygenation, increased positive pressure on the airways end pressure (PEEP) can be used as therapeutic mode by reversing severe hypoxemia resulting pulmonary shunt. But the use of PEEP has been associated to reduced cardiac output, due mainly to decrease systemic venous return consequent to increased intrathoracic pressure, and thus might reduce tissue oxygenation. Moreover, the increased transpulmonary gradient may also impair right ventricular ejection exacerbating the hemodynamic consequences in some patients, which in clinical practice this diagnosis may be difficult to perform.

In hypovolemic patients or those with cardiac changes may become even more pronounced, resulting in accentuation of low flow and systemic hypotension entailing changes in markers of tissue perfusion commonly measured by venous saturation central difference venoarterial carbon dioxide and lactate. The hypothesis of the investigators is that PEEP of 10 cmH2O and 15 cmH2O can be applied to reverse lung damage in patients in the immediate postoperative myocardial revascularization without repercussion tissue importantly in markers of tissue perfusion.

The objective is to evaluate the effects of different optimization levels of PEEP on gas exchange and influences the tissue perfusion after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

This is a prospective, randomized study and will be performed on patients who accept coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass, the conscious openness to participate in the study. Age, sex, body mass index (BMI), smoking habits, diagnosis, additional diseases, drugs used, surgery, intervention, peroperative supportive treatments, left ventricular ejection fraction, post operative blood and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (min), cross clamp time (min), duration of operation, postoperative extubation period, intensive care day of hospitalization, day of hospitalization will be recorded.The study was planned in 3 groups. Group G5 (control group: no changes will be made to the value of PEEP). Group G10 [after 30 minutes of admission (time 0) the PEEP will be raised to 10 cmH2O (time1) for 30 minutes and then returned to 5 cmH2O (time 2)]. Group G15 [after 30 minutes of admission (time 0) the PEEP will be raised to 15 cmH2O (time 1) for 30 minutes and then returned to 5 cm H2O (time 2)]. At each time of protocol (0, 1 and 2) will be collected: arterial blood gas measurements (partial pressure of arterial oxygen [PaO2] and partial pressure of carbon dioxide ([PaCO2]), the ratio between the partial oxygen pressure, inspired oxygen fraction (PaO2/FiO2) and pH. Also, will be performed parameters of tissue perfusion: central venous oxygen saturation ([SVO2]), arterial blood lactate, venoarterial CO2 difference ([Dif VA CO2]) and vital signs. In all other respects, treatment will follow the standard of care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pulmonary events

    Pleural effusion was considered relevant when exceeding the phrenicocostal angle and fluid drainage was monitored hourly. Atelectasis was acknowledged when a clear atelectasis radiologic shadow exceeded 15 mm in width, with linear atelectasis

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 24 hours after surgery

  2. Arterial oxygenation

    arterial blood gas measurements (partial pressure of arterial oxygen [PaO2]

    Measured: Immediately after arrival at the intensive care unit until the end of protocol (around 5 hours)

  3. Tissue oxygenation

    (central venous oxygen saturation , arterial blood lactate and venoarterial CO2 difference

    Measured: Immediately after arrival at the intensive care unit until the end of protocol (around 5 hours)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay

    Days since surgery until ICU discharge

    Measured: From the day of surgery up to ICU discharge, maximum censoring at day 28 after surgery ]

  2. Length of Hospital Stay

    Days since surgery until Hospital discharge

    Measured: From the day of surgery up to Hospital discharge, maximum censoring at day 28 after surgery ]

  3. Duration of mechanical ventilation

    Hours since surgery until extubation

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 24 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Group G5, Group G10 and Group G15 in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, run by Federal University of São Paulo.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Pulmonary events (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 24 hours after surgery). The study lists 3 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 29 Nov 2018.
