TRIAL DESCRIPTION |
Public title
|
Propofol versus insulin for myocardial protection assessed by ventricular biopsy and troponin I |
Official scientific title |
Propofol versus insulin in cold cardioplegia for myocardial protection assessed by ventricular biopsy and troponin I in cases of on pump valvular cardiac surgery |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Cardiac damage from inadequate myocardial protection in on pump cardiac surgeries may cause low cardiac output syndrome which may lead to prolonged hospital stay, cost and delayed myocardial fibrosis
Reperfusion injury is the main cause of myocardial damage in on pump cardiac surgery by reintroduction of free oxygen radicals into previously ischemic tissue which can further damage partially injured cells
Reperfusion injury of myocardium has not been resolved even with blood cardioplegia although contains nutrients for ischemic myocardium indicating the need for other adjuvants to control myocardium metabolism and preventing intracellular acidosis
This clincaltrial was designed to evaluate and compare the effects of adding either propofol or insulin to cold blood cardioplegia for myocardial protection in cases of on-pump valvular cardiac surgery. Primary endpoints : Myocardial protection asessed by left papillary muscle biopsy taken just after aortic cross clamping and before declamping and troponin I plasma level. Secondary endpoints : Postoperative left ventricular function assessed by trans-thoracic ECHO, time for weaning of mechanichal ventilation, postoperative morbidities (myocardial infarction, renal failure and need for dialysis), effect on liver functions and length of ICU stay. |
