PROTein to Enhance outComes of (Pre)Frail paTients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery - The PROTECT-CS Study
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
To enhance recovery in vulnerable older adults (aged 60 years or older) undergoing major heart surgery. The Investigators seek to reduce the stress of heart surgery on the body by providing muscle-building nutrition supplements (with leucine-rich proteins) at key time-points during the patients' journey.
Objectives of this study:
- Will leucine-rich protein nutrition supplementation (given in a liquid form like a protein shake) can reduce functional decline in frail older patients undergoing major heart surgery. The Investigators predict that these supplements will lead to a reduction in functional muscle loss (for example how quickly some can walk) and quicker recovery both in hospital and after going home.
- Will leucine-rich protein nutrition supplementation will enhance health-related quality of life of frail older adult patients after heart surgery. The Investigators predict that patients will be able to return to activities that they enjoy more quickly and experience less depression and anxiety.
In a two-centre clinical trial, frail older adults (patients who are at risk of a long recovery) undergoing major heart surgeries will receive nutrition supplements up to 2 weeks prior to surgery, during post-op recovery in hospital, and for the 8 weeks following hospital discharge. Prior to surgery, all patient in the study will consume a carbohydrate supplement in order to help with nausea symptoms post surgery, glycemic control and GI function. The Investigators will ask 150 (pre)frail patients before their heart surgery to participate. Patient who are 60 years of age or older who agree to be in the study will be randomly selected (75 patients in each group) to receive the nutrition protein shakes or a placebo (a shake without the special protein). In addition to how long a patient needs to stay in hospital after their heart surgery, The Investigators will measure levels of frailty (by different tests of muscle strength), overall nutrition, health related quality of life after surgery as well as mood and anxiety at 2 and 6 months after hospital discharge.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Protein Supplementation
The intended intervention consists of a leucine-rich protein-caloric supplement provided by the Enhanced Medical Nutrition®.
The product contains 25 g protein and 3 g Leucine per serving (total caloric value: 160 Kcal.) to be re-constituted and consumed twice daily for a minimum of 2 weeks pre-procedure, twice daily during post-operative recovery and 2 times daily for 8 weeks after the patient is discharged home (Appendix A).
|
EXPERIMENTAL ARM: Protein supplement to be re-constituted and consumed twice daily for a minimum of 2 weeks pre-procedure, twice daily during post-operative recovery and 2 times daily for 8 weeks after the patient is discharged home.
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo Supplementation
Enrolled patients allocated to the control group will receive the same supplementation schedule as well as compliance verification; however, they will receive a placebo product with no supplemented protein (no nutritional benefit).
|
PLACEBO COMPARATOR ARM: Placebo supplement to be re-constituted and consumed twice daily for a minimum of 2 weeks pre-procedure, twice daily during post-operative recovery and 2 times daily for 8 weeks after the patient is discharged home
