A Pilot Study of Optic Nerve Ultrasound Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass

September 10, 2021 updated by: Marco Corridore
The purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate the incidence of subtle increases in intracranial pressure (ICP) following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) using optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), measured by non-invasive ultrasound. As direct measurements of ICP are not feasible following CPB, ONSD will be used as a correlate of ICP. ONSD has been shown to be effective in the ICU and emergency room setting for detecting increased ICP and is an accepted standard for such measurements. The primary hypothesis is that changes in ICP occur following CPB without clinically appreciable signs and symptoms. These changes in ICP will be reflected by changes in ONSD. If there is a significant incidence of sub-clinical cerebral edema and increased ICP postoperatively, these findings may impact postoperative hemodynamic and ventilation goals and techniques.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter
Time Frame: Day of surgery
Optic nerve sheath diameter normal values: ≤4.0 mm for patients <1 year and ≤4.5 mm used for patients ≥1 year of age, thus there is potential for worse outcomes with higher diameters.
Day of surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter: Short Versus Long Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) Time
Time Frame: Day of surgery
Short CPB time defined as <100 minutes. Long CPB time defined as ≥ 100 minutes.
Day of surgery
