Trial summary

Digestive tract is supposed to be the motor of multiple organ failure. In ICU patients, mesenteric ischemia appears even when macrocirculatory parameters are controlled especially in our experience in patients coming in ICU after a cardiac surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study of Non Major Microcirculation During Extracorporeal Circulation : Relation Between Endothelial Dysfunction and Digestive

Digestive tract is supposed to be the motor of multiple organ failure. In ICU patients, mesenteric ischemia appears even when macrocirculatory parameters are controlled especially in our experience in patients coming in ICU after a cardiac surgery. The investigators suppose that microcirculatory failure develops and results in suffering of non major organs like muscle, skin and digestive tracts. In this study the investigators monitor digestive tract with plasmatic IFABP dosage and microcirculatory circulation with NIRS during a VOT and plasma glycocalyx measurements. The population is composed by patients having coronary artery bypass during cardiopulmonary bypass.

The first aim of this study is to show that digestive tract is suffering with the use of extracorporeal circulation and will be assessed with Plasmatic Intestinal Fatty Acid Binding Protein when IFABP will more than 300 pg/ml ; and with citrullinemia when citrullinemia will be less than 20 micromol/L.

The second aim is to investigate link between endothelial dysfunction and digestive tract. Endothelial dysfunction is assessed with tissular oxygen saturation before, during and after a vascular occlusion test of 3 minutes (measurement of basal value, desaturation curve, resaturation curve and hyperemic response by measurement of area under curve). Endothelial glycocalyx and NO pathway will be investigate (see under)

Our objective is to enroll 100 patients. The same study will be done in a group of patients who benefit from coronary artery bypass without extracorporeal circulation to see the effects of extracorporeal circulation support.

Read the detailed description

Population study is patients who benefit from coronary artery bypass grafting under extracorporeal circulation support during intervention. Extracorporeal circulation result in SIRS. We aim to study digestive tract during this intervention.

There are 5 times of measurements : under stable hemodynamic conditions and after beginning of anesthesia, just at the end of extracorporeal circulation, about 15 minutes following aortic unclamping and at the end of the Protamine perfusion, about 90 minutes after the end of extracorporeal circulation and the last time measurement 24 hours later.

At each time measurement are done : blood samples to measure Intestinal Fatty Acid Binding Protein, Citrullinemia that are markers for digestive suffering ; blood samples for measurement of Syndecan 1 CD 138 and Heparan Sulfate, two markers of shedding of the endothelial glycocalyx; blood samples for measurement of NOx and GMPc to assess the NO pathway ; measurement of tissular oxygen saturation with a NIRS probe, before, during and after a vascular occlusion test of 3 minutes. Blood samples for hemoglobin, platelets, coagulation evaluation, urea, creatininemia, liver enzymes and pancreatic enzymes will be done at each time.

The vascular occlusion test is done the day before the surgery when patient is awake without any exercise. This is a reference measurement.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proving that digestive failure appears with extracorporeal circulation for cardiac surgery and is more frequent than the 1 to 3 % percent admitted in precedent studies using clinical endpoints.

    Digestive suffering will be assessed by clinical measurment (pain, vomiting), classical biologic measurment and new specific measurment (intestinal fatty acid binding protein : IFABP and citrullinemia. Plasmatic IFABP of more than 300 pg/ml and citrullinemia of more than 20 micromol/L are used as cut-off to define intestinal failure.

    Microcirculatory will be assessed via a Near InfraRed Spectroscopy (NIRS) probe ajusted on the thenar eminence for the tissular oxygen saturation measurment before, during and after a vascular occlusion test of 3 minutes.

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Study links between endothelial impairment and digestive suffering

    Digestive suffering was define before.

    Endothelial impairment is define using :

    • Tissular Oxygen Saturation during vascular occlusion test. The reasturation curve represents endothelial vasodilatory capacities
    • Elevation of Syndecan and Heparan shows the shedding of endothelial glycocalyx We will study the links and the correlation between syndecan and heparan elevation with diminution of resaturation curve and digestive suffering NOx and GMPc will help us for the interpretation of NIRS curves.

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mesenteric Ischemia, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon at 1 site in France.

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 7 inclusion and 3 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 9 Feb 2012. 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 France. 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.

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?

Proving that digestive failure appears with extracorporeal circulation for cardiac surgery and is more frequent than the 1 to 3 % percent admitted in precedent studies using clinical endpoints. (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 9 Feb 2012.
