Endothelial Dysfunction As A Predictor Of Perioperative Outcome
Endothelial Dysfunction As A Predictor Of Perioperative Outcome In Major Thoracic Surgery - An Observational Study

詳細な説明
A small group of patients (about 12 out of every 100) are at risk of developing complications, for example lung infection, after their surgery. Researchers do not always know which patient is at risk or the reason why some patients develop these complications. Your participation in this study may help researchers to understand who is at risk and also the mechanism of some of the complications.
The inner layer of cells of blood vessels are called endothelial cells. This layer of cells plays a vital role in the normal function of blood vessels, including blood clotting and inflammation. Certain conditions, such as aging, smoking, high cholesterol, and some chemotherapies cause these cells to not function properly. Researchers can test whether these cells function properly by doing two simple tests - one is a blood test and the other uses ultrasound and temperature probes on the finger to look at the ability of arm blood vessels to dilate (expand).
The way your cells function will be tested within a month before your scheduled chemotherapy / radiation (if applicable), and again within a month before your major chest surgery. This will be done on those patients with surgery planned or scheduled.
About 2 tablespoons of blood will be drawn to measure the number of circulating blood cells that become endothelial cells.
During your scheduled surgery, the researcher will also collect just over a teaspoon of blood at the beginning of the surgery for an additional endothelial risk assessment and a small sample of lung tissue, if available. Tissue removed during long surgery is usually thrown away if it is not needed for diagnosis and or treatment purposes. The lung tissue sample collected for this research study will only be taken from lung tissue that is to be discarded. The lung tissue will be used to determine the amount of a naturally occurring substance thought to play a role in recruiting blood cells to repair injured lung tissue.
Blood samples (about 2 tablespoons) will also be collected after exercise, during your surgery, 24 hours after your surgery, and at 5 days after surgery or the time you discharge from the hospital (which ever is shorter). These blood samples will also be collected at your routinely schedule post operative clinic visits at 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery. The samples will be used to determine the amount of endothelial cells in the blood stream.
For healthy volunteers, blood samples (about 2 tablespoons) will be collected at baseline (prior to exercising), 15-30 minutes past peak exercise, 3 hours past peak exercise and at 24 hours past past peak exercise.
Data will be collected on you for 30 days after your surgery, and during the 1 year follow-up. These data will then be matched with the amount of cell function as measured before surgery to see if these tests may be used to help predict which patients are at increased risk for complications. No other measurements will be done and this study will not change your surgical procedure or lengthen your hospital stay.
This is an investigational study. About 90 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at The University of Texas (UT) MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC).

説明
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients scheduled for major thoracic surgery (lobectomy, pneumonectomy, esophagectomy).
- Patients 18 years of age or older.
- Patients who have signed the consent form to participate in the study.
- Patients must have been evaluated in the Preanesthesia Clinic or by a staff Anesthesiologist preoperatively.
- All laboratory and diagnostic evaluations required or used to evaluate the patient in the Preanesthesia Clinic must be completed. All patients must be approved for surgery by the standards of the Preanesthesia Clinic.

Endothelial Dysfunction
Participants are scheduled for major chest (lung or esophagus) surgery or are a healthy volunteer.
A blood test will quantify the number of cells that are destined to become endothelial cells.
