Clinical Trial Summary

This is a multi-institutional study (CCF, UPMC, OSU) evaluating different ventilation strategies during cardiopulmonary bypass on mortality and postoperative pulmonary complications, with sub-study investigating 8-iso-prostaglandin F2a and sRAGE levels.

Description:

The investigators will evaluate the effect of low tidal volume with varying FiO2 fractions during cardiopulmonary bypass on postoperative mortality and pulmonary complications. This will be a prospective, pragmatic, cluster randomized trial including all eligible adult cardiac surgical patients requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. Each week, all operating rooms will be randomized to one of three possible ventilation strategies during the period of cardiopulmonary bypass: 1) continuous low tidal volume ventilation with inspired oxygen fraction at 1.0, 2) continuous low tidal volume ventilation with inspired oxygen fraction at 0.21, and 3) no ventilation (apnea). The investigators will anticipate increase in plasma sRAGE and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2a levels in all three groups of patients during CPB with the highest levels immediately after cross-clamp release. The investigators will anticipate significant difference with at least 25% lower sRAGE levels in this group. The sub-study will also provide preliminary data on the behavior of the 8-iso-prostaglandin F2a which will be useful in further investigation of other targeted interventions to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury to the lung during routine cardiac surgical operations.

Recruitment information / eligibility

• Status: Recruiting
• Enrollment: 5502
• Est. completion date: March 30, 2025
• Est. primary completion date: December 31, 2024
• Accepts healthy volunteers: No
• Gender: All
• Age group: 18 Years and older

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• >18 years of age

• Male and female patients undergoing elective cardiac surgeries requiring cardiopulmonary bypass.

Exclusion Criteria:

Emergency surgeries, surgeries requiring lung isolation and one-lung ventilation (OLV), heart or lung transplants, and mechanical circulatory support device implantation pulmonary thrombendarterectomies.

• Surgeries requiring one-lung ventilation will be excluded because of the inability to employ study intervention and the differential treatment of the lungs likely confounding any potential effect from the planned intervention.

• Lung transplant surgeries will be excluded for similar reasons as well as other confounding effects affecting the primary composite outcome.

• Heart transplants and mechanical circulatory support device implantation surgeries will be excluded because these patients already receive intervention as part of the institutional protocol at the primary study site.

Intervention

Other:
• Continuous low-tidal volume ventilation with using FiO2 of 0.21
The continuous low-tidal volume ventilation with using FiO2 of 0.21 will be defined as the tidal volume of 3 mL/kg IBW (up to maximum 200 mL), 0.21 of FiO2, respiratory rate of 5 per minute, and PEEP 5 cm H20). A recruitment maneuver with 30 cm H2O for 10 seconds will be performed before starting the selected ventilation mode in all patients. During the sub-study extra blood samples will be drawn before and after CPB.
• Continuous low tidal volume ventilation with using FiO2 of 1.0
The continuous low-tidal volume ventilation with using FiO2 of 1.0 will be defined as the tidal volume of 3 mL/kg IBW (up to maximum 200 mL), 1.0 of FiO2, respiratory rate of 5 per minute, and PEEP 5 cm H20). A recruitment maneuver with 30 cm H2O for 10 seconds will be performed before starting the selected ventilation mode in all patients. During the sub-study extra blood samples will be drawn before and after CPB.
• Apnea During CPB
There will be no ventilation used. But, during the sub-study part of the Apnea CPB extra blood samples will be drawn before and after CPB.
