Filter by:DAMPs (damage associated molecular patterns) are endogenous molecules that are expressed by cell stress or cell damage and play an important role in tissue (or host) defense and repair by activating the innate immune system. This is not the case with infections or injuries. Briefly, it starts when the immune system is activated by a receptor that recognizes a damage pattern, and it is a generic term for continuous responses by endogenous molecules expressed in this process. Recently, immuno-cancer drugs for cancer treatment by applying this immune response are also emerging. In cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), there are more deleterious effects and adverse effects caused by using CPB than the surgery itself. There are several studies that have revealed the association between DAMPs and the degree of complications by approaching them from the point of view of tissue damage caused by the use of CPB. Therefore, we intend to investigate the changes in DMAPs over time during, and after cardiac surgery and the differences in DAMPs according to the presence or absence of postoperative pulmonary complications.
In this before-after multicenter study the authors tested the hypothesis that the prophylactic use of aprotinin compared to tranexamic acid could reduce the proportion of patients presenting severe perioperative bleeding.
Coronary artery disease has the highest mortality rate worldwide and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most common cardiac surgery performed in patients with coronary artery disease to revascularize the heart. Despite of improvement in operation techniques, cardioplegia, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), myocardial injury related to on-pump CABG is still prominent. In patient with low ejection fraction undergone on-pump CABG, myocardial injury is related to worse outcome and prognosis during peri-operative and post-operative period. On-pump CABG patients with low ejection fraction has increased (up to four times higher) post-operative in hospital mortality rate compared to patient with normal ejection fraction. Administration of intravenous glutamine had been documented in reducing myocardial damage during cardiac surgery and previous studies indicated that glutamine can protect against myocardial injury by various mechanism during ischemia and reperfusion. The purpose of this study to determine whether intravenous glutamine could prevent the decline of plasma glutamine level, reduce myocardial damage, improve hemodynamic profile, and reduce morbidity of on-pump CABG in patients with low ejection fraction.
Cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induces myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. This myocardial attack is a well-identified independent prognostic factor of postoperative morbidity and mortality. The quantification of these myocardial lesions by the postoperative plasma release of troponin has proven its diagnostic and prognostic value. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can accurately measure and characterize the size of myocardial lesions. These lesions are associated with a poor prognosis. MRI can also characterize myocardial edema secondary to ischemia-reperfusion which has not yet been studied in the context of CPB. It is therefore necessary, in a mechanistic approach, to quantify the respective share of necrosis, edema and reperfusion lesions during cardiac surgery under CPB in order to better understand these phenomena and to propose effective strategies for the prevention of these myocardial lesions.the relationship between the postoperative release of troponin and the amount of myocardial necrosis and edema measured by cardiac MRI will be assessed.The hypothesis is to demonstrate a positive correlation between imaging and biology in order to better understand the perioperative myocardial lesion processes. This is an interventional study prospective, exploratory, in cardiac imaging, non-comparative and single-center, including 30 patients.
This clinical trial is studying the use of different levels of oxygen exposure during and after cardiopulmonary bypass in eligible infants to learn about its safety during heart surgery. In addition to having the various doses of oxygen, participants will also have blood samples, ultrasounds of the head, and brain wave patterns monitored. The hypotheses of this trial are: - that there will be no difference with regards to adverse events between the infants in the normoxia group compared to the infants in the standard of care group - there will be a significant difference in the measured partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) values between the two treatment groups. - the use of normoxia during cardiopulmonary bypass and in the immediate post-operative period will result in clinically significant decrease in oxidative stress as measured by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) after cardiac surgery
The primary objective is to test the efficacy and safety of the accuracy of continuous intravenous infusion of norepinephrine during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on the prevention of hyperlactatemia after cardiac surgery. "Efficacy" would be tested with measurement of the postoperative changes in lactic acid level over time from the baseline value before induction of general anesthesia. "safety" would be tested with observing the post-cardiotomy need for inotropic and vasopressor support, the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI), changes in cardiac troponin level (CnTnI), and signs of ischemic splanchnic injury.
During coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operations with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), the use of desflurane continuously or intermittently may have effects on serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. The aim is to investigate the association between desflurane, serum BNP values, and clinical outcomes during CABG operations. In a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study, desflurane inhalational anesthesia was administered either continuously or intermittently (Group 1; n=60 versus Group 2; n=62). The preoperative and postoperative BNP levels at 24, 48 and 72 hours after surgery were collected. Outcomes were recorded.
During a cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass it is essential that an appropriate level of anticoagulation is accomplished. To achieve this, the patient is administered heparin. After completion of the surgery, protamine is given to reverse the anticoagulant action of heparin. In this prospective clinical study the researchers will investigate the impact of the two different methods to calculate the required dosage of heparin and protamine; the individualized calculation computed by the Hemostasis Management System Plus (HMS Plus, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) device and the weight based. The investigators hypothesize that the aforementioned methods result in different dosages and will elaborate on their impact on postoperative bleeding.
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of serum values of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and lactate to predict postoperative complications in the early postoperative period after open-heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
During open cardiac surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is used to temporarily replace the function of the heart and lungs. Renal ischemia resulting in acute kidney injury is common after cardiac surgery. The renal oxygenation is impaired during CPB, but the oxygenation may be improved by increasing the CPB blood flow. In this randomized study, two CPB flow rates will be compared regarding renal outcome (biomarkers and renal oxygenation/renal blood flow), as well as markers of inflammation and hemolysis. Additionally, urine oxygen tension will be measured during CPB and the early intensive care phase and compared to renal oxygenation. Regional oxygen saturation assessed with near infrared spectroscopy from the brain and kidneys will be monitored during and after surgery.
