Endocan Predictive Value in Postcardiac Surgery Acute Respiratory Failure.

September 3, 2015 updated by: Andrea PERROTTI, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon

Endocan Predictive Value in Postcardiac Surgery Acute Respiratory Failure. The ENDOLUNG Study

According to literature data, Endocan can detect the onset of respiratory failure. The investigators aim to prove its value also for cardiac surgery patients.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Endocan is an endothelium derived soluble dermatan sulfate proteoglycan. Literature data shows that alterate levels of its blood concentration correlate with the onset of pulmonary failure in patients with major trauma and septic shock.

In cardiac surgery respiratory failure and infections are threatening complications leading to mortality rates up to 80%. A rapid diagnosis and treatment of this pathology is crucial to improve the clinical outcome.

Unfortunately specific data for the efficacy of Endocan predictive value in cardiac surgery patients are not available.

The investigators aim to determinate if Endocan can be a helpful tool to identify patients developing acute respiratory failure after cardiac surgery and anticipate specific treatment in order to improve survival.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes of Endocan blood levels after cardiac surgery and its correlation with postoperative pulmonary failure
Time Frame: from day -1 of the intervention to day 3, one blood sample per day
The investigators will enroll 150 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. Every participant will be prelevated of several blood samples following this time frame : day -1 from intervention, day 0 ( six hours after intervention), day 1 , day 2 , day 3. All patients will be observed to detect all infections, especially pulmonary ones, up to hospital discharge. Endocan blood levels of patients developing pulmonary failure and patients without postoperative respiratory insufficiency will be compared.
from day -1 of the intervention to day 3, one blood sample per day
