6. srpna 2026 aktualizováno: Jianxing He, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University

Cardiopulmonary Protective Effects of Non-Intubated Spontaneous Ventilation Anesthesia in Heart Transplantation: A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial

This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate whether non-intubated spontaneous ventilation anesthesia (NISVA) supported by a supraglottic airway can reduce cardiopulmonary complications and promote postoperative recovery in adults undergoing isolated orthotopic heart transplantation. Approximately 220 participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the NISVA group or the conventional endotracheal general anesthesia group. The study will primarily evaluate a cardiopulmonary composite endpoint within 30 days after transplantation. Postoperative invasive mechanical ventilation duration, pulmonary function recovery, intensive care unit length of stay, and other postoperative recovery outcomes will also be assessed. Participants will be followed during hospitalization and at 30 days, 3 months, and 1 year after transplantation to evaluate cardiopulmonary function, safety, postoperative recovery, rehospitalization, and survival.

Přehled studie

Detailní popis

Heart transplant recipients are at high risk of pulmonary complications and early graft dysfunction because of preexisting heart failure, cardiopulmonary bypass, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and perioperative hemodynamic changes. Conventional endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation provide reliable airway control but may contribute to airway injury, pulmonary complications, and delayed recovery. NISVA uses a supraglottic airway to maintain ventilation while preserving or restoring spontaneous breathing when clinically feasible, potentially reducing airway stimulation and mechanical ventilation exposure.

Eligible adults undergoing isolated orthotopic heart transplantation will be randomly assigned to NISVA or conventional endotracheal general anesthesia. Both groups will receive standard perioperative heart transplantation care. Participant safety will take priority, and endotracheal intubation or additional respiratory or circulatory support will be provided whenever clinically necessary. In addition to the 30-day cardiopulmonary composite endpoint, the study will assess pulmonary recovery, early graft function, mechanical ventilation and circulatory support, major complications, safety events, recovery milestones, length of stay, rejection, quality of life, rehospitalization, and survival for up to 1 year. Key outcomes will be evaluated according to predefined criteria, with independent assessment of the primary endpoint.

Exclusion Criteria:

Previous solid-organ transplantation that may substantially affect the assessment of perioperative outcomes for the current transplantation.

Severe pulmonary infection, severe respiratory failure, significant pulmonary edema, severe hypercapnia, or inability to tolerate a spontaneous ventilation anesthesia strategy, as determined by the study team.

Severe pulmonary hypertension, severe right heart failure, or severely impaired baseline right ventricular function considered to present an unacceptably high risk for NISVA.

Severe preoperative hemodynamic instability requiring high-dose vasoactive support, or use of mechanical circulatory support other than a durable left ventricular assist device or an intra-aortic balloon pump.

Known difficult airway, high risk of aspiration, full stomach, gastric retention, severe gastroesophageal reflux, or another contraindication to supraglottic airway use.

Estimated glomerular filtration rate below 40 mL/min/1.73 m², need for dialysis or ultrafiltration, or rapidly progressive renal dysfunction.

A systemic disease that may substantially affect transplantation outcomes, including systemic lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis, or amyloidosis.

Active sepsis or a positive blood culture before surgery. ABO-incompatible transplantation. Ongoing pretransplant desensitization therapy, including peri-transplant plasma exchange or another treatment that may substantially affect inflammatory, immunologic, or outcome assessments.

Concurrent participation in another interventional transplantation-related clinical trial that may affect the results of this study.

Pregnancy or breastfeeding. Inability to understand the study, inability to complete the informed consent process, or considered unsuitable for enrollment by the investigator.

Experimentální: Non-Intubated Spontaneous Ventilation Anesthesia Group
Participants assigned to this group will receive non-intubated spontaneous ventilation anesthesia supported by a supraglottic airway during isolated orthotopic heart transplantation. Spontaneous breathing will be preserved or restored as early as clinically feasible. Participants will receive standardized perioperative heart transplantation care, and the supraglottic airway may be removed in the operating room when predefined clinical criteria are met.
A standardized perioperative anesthesia strategy using a supraglottic airway without routine endotracheal intubation, with early restoration of spontaneous breathing when clinically feasible. Airway management, ventilation, and perioperative care will follow predefined study procedures. Endotracheal intubation or escalation of respiratory or circulatory support will be performed whenever clinically necessary for patient safety.
Anesthesia maintenance will consist of continuous infusions of remifentanil and dexmedetomidine combined with target-controlled infusion of propofol. Sufentanil and sevoflurane may be administered when clinically indicated. Additional rocuronium may be administered as needed to facilitate surgical conditions.
Aktivní komparátor: Conventional Anesthesia Group
Participants assigned to this group will receive conventional general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation during isolated orthotopic heart transplantation. Ventilation will follow lung-protective principles and standardized heart transplantation anesthesia practices. After surgery, participants will be assessed for ventilator weaning and extubation according to their respiratory function, hemodynamic status, consciousness, bleeding, and graft function. Respiratory or circulatory support will be escalated whenever clinically necessary. Participants will receive the same standardized perioperative heart transplantation care as the experimental group.
