Amiodarone and N-Acetylcysteine or Amiodarone Alone for Preventing Atrial Fibrillation After Thoracic Surgery
May 15, 2023 updated by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Trial of Combined Amiodarone and N-Acetylcysteine Versus Amiodarone Plus Placebo for the Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation in High Risk Patients Undergoing Thoracic Surgery
This trial will be comparing the combination of amiodarone and NAC (n=122) to amiodarone alone and NAC matched placebo (n=122) to determine the rates with which sustained (lasting >30 seconds) or clinically significant POAF is reduced in high risk patients within 7 days after major thoracic surgery.

Placebo Comparator: Amiodarone + Placebo
Amiodarone loading: 150 mg IV in PACU over one hour, then 1.0 gm/24h x 2 + NAC loading matching placebo; 50 mg/kg IV in PACU over one hour, then 50 mg/kg/24h x 2 NAC matched placebo continuously for 48 hours.

Experimental: Amiodarone + N-Acetylcysteine
Amiodarone loading: 150 mg IV in PACU over one hour, then 1.0 gm/24h x 2 + NAC loading: 50 mg/kg IV in PACU over one hour, then 50 mg/kg/24h x 2 and then continuously for 48 hours.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
rate of sustained (lasting >30 seconds) or clinically significant post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF)
Time Frame: within 7 days since operation
|
Atrial arrhythmias will be considered and defined as atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF) lasting great than 30 seconds and/or sustained supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) that are detected by continuous telemetry or that are clinically significant, requiring intervention and documented by 12-lead ECG by the clinical staff.
