About this study

Official title: Effect of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in Children Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC) is a treatment that may be associated with improved outcomes after cardiac surgery. It can be elicited noninvasively by using a tourniquet to elicit transient ischemia over a lower extremity. It is thought to promote anti-inflammatory and cell survival pathways, and thus protect remote organs against future ischemic injury. We hypothesize that compared to sham treatment, RIPC will be associated with decreased post-operative acute kidney, myocardial, and lung injury.

Read the detailed description

In children undergoing cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), our primary aims are to determine whether RPC is associated with: 1) decreased AKI and 2) decreased acute myocardial injury. Secondary aims include investigating the effects of RPC on post-procedure: 1)acute lung injury and 2) morbidity/mortality.

What participants receive

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

  • RIPCProcedure or surgery

    RIPC will be elicited in the operating room (OR) after anesthesia induction and before start of surgery. After placement of an arterial line, a tourniquet will be placed over a lower extremity. It will be inflated to 15 mmHg above systolic blood pressure for 5 minutes, and then deflated for 5 minutes. This cycle of inflation-deflation will be repeated another 3 times before surgery.

  • ControlProcedure or surgery

    In OR, after induction of general anesthesia and arterial line placement, a deflated tourniquet will be placed over the lower extremity for 40 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI)

    Serum creatinine (SCr) will be measured at baseline, then on post-operative days 1, 2, and 3.

    Measured: 72 hours

  2. Incidence of acute myocardial injury

    Troponin-I will be measured at baseline, then 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours post-operative.

    Measured: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Incidence of acute lung injury

    Days on mechanical ventilation, readiness for extubation.

    Measured: 72 hours and duration of hospitalization

  2. Hospitalization

    Number of post-operative days in cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) and hospital.

    Measured: Duration of post-operative hospitalization

  3. Mortality

    Measured: Duration of hospitalization, 30 days post-op, and at last follow-up

  4. Biomarkers for AKI

    Serum and urine will be collected for biomarker discovery.

    Measured: 72 hours

  5. Inflammation

    Cytokines will be measured at baseline until 72 hours post-operative.

    Measured: 72 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing RIPC in people with Congenital Heart Disease and Cardiopulmonary Bypass, run by Seattle Children's Hospital at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 18 Sep 2013. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

Incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) (time frame: 72 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01260259, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Sep 2013.
