About this study

Official title: Comparison of Desflurane and Propofol Anesthesia for Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery

The purpose of this study is to prove if anesthesia maintained with the inhaled volatile anesthetic desflurane is superior to the intravenously applied propofol anesthesia in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OP-CABG) surgery as measured by following parameters:

  1. hemodynamic parameters during and after the operation,
  2. pulmonary gas exchange, need for mechanical ventilation and for ICU and intrahospital stay,
  3. release of heart muscle injury markers in response to surgery and intraoperative ischaemia,
  4. inflammatory response to the operation.

We suspect that insufflation anesthesia with desflurane may be superior to intravenous anesthesia with propofol.

Read the detailed description

General anesthesia will be induced by intravenous dosis of fentanyl, vecuronium and etomidate and further maintained either by inhaled desflurane or propofol infusion, with concomitant empirically administered fentanyl doses and continuous infusion of vecuronium.

After induction of anesthesia a Swan-Ganz catheter for continuous cardiac output, right ventricle end diastolic volume and blood saturation measurements will be introduced through the internal jugular vein. A transesophageal echocardiography probe will be placed additionally for the Tei-index measurement.

Hemodynamic parameters will be recorded at the following time points:

  • before induction
  • after induction
  • during trachea intubation
  • before skin incision
  • 3 Min. after skin incision
  • after sternotomy
  • before heart positioning for graft placing
  • before finishing placing each distal anastomoses
  • 10, 20, 30, 40 min after placing the last anastomoses
  • 10 Min. after admission to ICU, 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours after surgery.
  • TEE measurements will be obtained after sternotomy and 20 Min after placing the last distal anastomoses.

The results will be compared while using the parametric ANOVA test for normally distributed continuous data or the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis/Wilcoxon-U test for categoric or inhomogeneous distributed continuous data.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Diprivan (propofol), Astra-ZenecaDrug

    Also called propofol

    continuous intravenous infusion with a dose of 3-5 mg/kg/h

  • Suprane (desflurane), BaxterDrug

    Also called desflurane

    a vapor concentration of 3-7 vol% is maintained with use of vaporizer and under control of arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and BIS index.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Markers of heart muscle injury and inflammation will be compared: troponin I, creatinine phosphokinase and its heart specific fraction, C-reactive protein.

    Measured: within the first 2. days after surgery.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evidence of clinically definite heart infarct confirmed by ECG and/or echocardiography, and heart muscle specific creatinine phosphokinase increase.

    Measured: To discharge from hospital (usually within 7 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Diprivan (propofol), Astra-Zeneca and Suprane (desflurane), Baxter in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Medical University of Gdansk at 1 site in Poland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Markers of heart muscle injury and inflammation will be compared: troponin I, creatinine phosphokinase and its heart specific fraction, C-reactive protein. (time frame: within the first 2. days after surgery.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00528515, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 May 2008.
