Clinical Trial Summary

Heart surgery is a life-saving intervention for hundreds of thousands of patients each year worldwide. Advances in technology and medical expertise have improved outcomes for these patients over the years. However, despite such advances, approximately 30% of patients develop lung complications (also called "pulmonary complications") after heart surgery, which result in prolonged hospital stay, increased mortality and healthcare costs. During and immediately after heart surgery, the patient's breathing needs to be artificially controlled by a breathing machine, called "mechanical ventilator". The medical literature has reported that in critically ill patients the use of specific settings on the breathing machine (so called "protective mechanical ventilation") prevents lung complications and significantly decreases mortality. Studies show that such settings could also be beneficial for patients that undergo several types of planned surgery, however data regarding heart surgery patients (the most vulnerable to lung complications) are lacking.The aim of our study is to test whether the use of protective mechanical ventilation settings during and after heart surgery reduces lung complications compared to the current standard of care. The main innovation of this study is the application of a novel protective mechanical ventilation strategy to patients undergoing cardiac surgery, in order to reduce post-operative pulmonary complications.

Intervention

Other:
A comprehensive perioperative mechanical ventilation strategy
1) Intervention group. Recruitment maneuvers (doubling the tidal volumes for 10 consecutive breaths) every 30min and after every time mechanical ventilation is stopped for surgical reasons, suctioning occurs or the breathing circuit is disconnected Mechanical ventilation will be continued during CPB (PEEP 5 cm H2O, respiratory rate 8/min, Tidal Volume 6 ml/kg PBW, FiO2 21% Avoidance of lung de-recruitment during patient's transfer (use of PEEP via PEEP valves, endotracheal tube clamps during disconnection from the breathing circuit) Avoidance of disconnection from respiratory circuit during respiratory secretions suctioning (applying closed suction circuits) For the remaining aspects the mechanical ventilation settings will be the same as in the control group. Tidal volume 6ml/kg PBW PEEP 5cm H20 FiO2 to target SatO2 of 92-97% Discontinuation of mechanical ventilation during cardiopulmonary bypass
