Complication of Surgical Procedure Clinical Trial
Official title:
Factors Responsible for the Effectiveness of the Lund Technique for De-airing Following Open Left Heart Surgery.
The Lund de-airing technique is employed for cardiac de-airing in open left heart surgery. It consists of two main elements namely, opening of both pleura after the patient is on CPB (cardiopulmonary bypass)and disconnection of the ventilator before opening the left heart to ensure bilateral pulmonary collapse and a staged filling of the heart at termination of the CPB. The aim of this study is to analyze in a randomized manner two groups of patients to establish if one or both components are of primary importance for the effectiveness of the de-airing technique.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Quantitative Assessment of Air Embolism to the Brain After Completion of Open Left Heart Surgery | Cerebral air emboli will be assessed quantitatively by On-line counting of gaseous microembolic signals (MES) by Trans-cranial Echo-Doppler (TCD) monitoring of the right and left middle cerebral artery. The sum of the gaseous microembolic signals registered from the right and left middle cerebral artery will be reported. | Time from the release of the aortic crossclamp to cardiac ejection, an average of 10-15 minutes | Yes |
Primary | Quantitative Assessment of Air Embolism to the Brain After Completion of Open Left Heart Surgery | Cerebral air emboli will be assessed quantitatively by On-line counting of gaseous microembolic signals (MES) by Trans-cranial Echo-Doppler (TCD) monitoring of the right and left middle cerebral artery. The sum of the gaseous microembolic signals registered from the right and left middle cerebral artery will be reported. | Time from cardiac ejection to finished de-airing, an average of 5-10 minutes | Yes |
Primary | Quantitative Assessment of Air Embolism to the Brain After Completion of Open Left Heart Surgery | Cerebral air emboli will be assessed quantitatively by On-line counting of gaseous microembolic signals (MES) by Trans-cranial Echo-Doppler (TCD) monitoring of the right and left middle cerebral artery. The sum of the gaseous microembolic signals registered from the right and left middle cerebral artery will be reported. | Period of ten minutes after finished de-airing | Yes |
Primary | Participants With <=Grade I Air Emboli as Assessed by Trans-esophageal Echocardiography (TEE) After Finished De-airing. | The severity of residual air emboli in three anatomic areas; left atrium, left ventricle and aortic root, is assessed by Trans-esophageal Echocardiography (TEE) and classified in grade 0-3 as follows, Grade o: no residual air; grade I: gas emboli detected in one of three anatomic areas during one cardiac cycle; grade II: gas emboli detected simultaneously in two of three anatomic areas during one cardiac cycle; grade III: gas emboli detected simultaneously in all three anatomic areas during one cardiac cycle. | 0-3 minutes after finished de-airing | Yes |

Primary | Duration of the De-airing Procedure | The de-airing procedure is deemed completed when the Trans-esophageal Echocardiography (TEE) no longer visualizes air emboli in the heart Chambers. The duration is likely to vary between individuals and reflects the complexity of the de-airing procedure. | Time from release of aortic crossclamp to finished de-airing | No |
