Continued Ventilation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass

February 19, 2020 updated by: Hendrik Jan Ankersmit, Medical University of Vienna

Continued Mechanical Ventilation During CABG Operation Attenuates Systemic Immune Modulation

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is well known to induce a strong anti-inflammatory response. The investigators examined whether continued mechanical ventilation during CPB alters systemic immune activation.

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Detailed Description

Cardiopulmonary bypass is well known to induce a strong anti-inflammatory response. Studies had been shown that the contact of blood components with artificial surfaces, the surgical trauma, endotoxemia and a reperfusion injury are in part responsible for the seen immunological affect after surgery. The purpose of this study is to test the effect of continued mechanical ventilation during surgery on a blood marker called soluble ST2 in patients sera. Soluble ST2 acts as a decoy receptor of IL-33 and has anti-inflammatory effects. Elevated soluble ST2 concentrations are reported in patients with acute myocardial infarction, sepsis, congestive heart failure and elevates soluble ST2 levels are associated with adverse outcome.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Basic Science
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Ventilation Group
Volume controlled ventilation was done during the whole surgery.
In the ventilated group, mechanical ventilation was done with the half of the initial tidal volume (i.e. 3-4 ml/kg, 250-300ml) during the aortic cross-clamp.
Active Comparator: Non-ventilation Group
In the non-ventilated group lungs were collapsed after completion of CPB until after weaning from the extracorporeal circulation.
. In the non-ventilated group lungs were collapsed after completion of CPB until after weaning from the extracorporeal circulation.
