About this study

The investigators hypothesized that dexmedetomidine as an anesthetic adjunct can be used in the setting of off-pump coronary bypass procedure and can provide benefits to cardiac function and cognitive performance on the ground of the dexmedetomidine's characteristics.

Read the detailed description

The emergence of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) procedure brings up new challenges to anesthesiologists and urges us to contemplate the choice of anesthetics. In face of these challenges Dexmedetomdine with multiple unique traits can readily fit into this situation.

Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) procedure is an emerging procedure which might bring benefit to patients in comparison with conventional CABGs although final words about outcomes haven't been reached on the basis of recent literature. However, OPCAB technique definitely requires more involvement of anesthesiologists especially in cases where hemodynamic compromise is usually inevitable during anastomosis of Lcx or PDA and early extubation in the OR is expected1. Thus, the investigators are encountered with more intraoperative challenges caused by OPCAB than routine CABGs. Concerning about challenges the investigators might take on, the investigators shall not only pay more attention to surgeons' manipulation but also review anesthetics that the investigators have selected to find an optimal plan to minimize adverse effects on heart and other important organs. With this perspective, dexmedetomidine come into our sight with its peculiar traits of hemodynamic effects and assumed cardiac protective effects.

Dexmedetomidine as a more selective α2-adrenoreceptor agonist than clonidine has gradually gain popularity in anesthetic and ICU settings for its unique pharmacologic characteristics. Dexmedetomidine provides sufficient sedative effects with minimal respiratory effect and then reduces the consumption of other sedative and antinociceptive drugs.Given specific requirements of OPCAB surgery, dexmedetomidine's may be more suitable in varying aspects. Firstly, dexmedetomine can dramatically diminish the level of serum catecholamine (CA). As the investigators know, the diminished level of catecholamine indicates less stress response to surgical stimuli and lower incidence of cardiac events. Secondly, the relatively slower HR by dexmedetomidine can decrease oxygen consumption of myocardium and consequently improve the perfusion of endangered ischemic area. In addition, the decreased HR which is assumably analogous to effects of esmolol or other β-blockers can reduce the occurrence of tachycardia and minimize the motion of heart when "bypass" procedure is performed on the target vessels. Thirdly, it has been reported that dexmedetomidine can alleviate sufferings of renal function during major thoracic surgery .Thus, it is implied that dexmedetomidine might in the similar way ameliorate the damage to renal system caused by hours of stress response and havoc of SIRS ,and then improve clinical prognosis . In view of assumptions the investigators have proposed on the ground of dexmedetomidine's characteristics and specific requirements of OPCAB surgery, the investigators are expecting that dexmdetomidine can fit the situation where patients' limited capacity of coronary artery and sophisticated pathophysiological courses have to be taken into account.

What is being measured

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

  1. cardioprective results represented by serial determination of troponin I (cTnI) cardioprective results represented by serial determination of troponin I (cTnI)

    The parameter measured is dynamic so that it is needed to detect the level at different time points

    Measured: up to 3 days after the surgery

  2. Hemodynamic values

    On the basis of our experience, the period from baseline to the end of the surgery is five hours on average and would depend on the complexity of the surgical procedure

    Measured: from baseline to the end of the surgery

  3. Serum level of β-amyloid protein

    The study is going to reflect the degree of central nerve system damage by detecting the level of S100 protein in serum. The serum level of S100 is preferred rather than the CSF sample because the approach of CSF sample obtaining is invasive and costly.

    Measured: up to 3 days after the surgery

  4. Serum level of S100 protein

    The study is going to reflect the degree of central nerve system damage by detecting the level of S100 protein in serum. The serum level of S100 is preferred rather than the CSF sample because the approach of CSF sample obtaining is invasive and costly.

    Measured: up to 3 days after the surgical procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. intraoperative and postoperative urine output (UO), extubation time (ET), length of stay in ICU(LOSICU ) and length of hospital stay (LOS)

    The intraoperative and postoperative urine output (UO), extubation time (ET), length of stay in ICU(LOSICU ) are measured in ICU while the length of hospital stay is recorded at the discharge of every patient.

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of4 weeks

  2. Mini-mental state examination(MMSE) scoring

    The study is planned to detect the cognitive performance with this commonly used cognitive evaluation scoring

    Measured: up to patients' discharge from hospital

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by Huazhong University of Science and Technology at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Oct 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ailin Luo, professor (13507122565, alluo@tjh.tjmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

cardioprective results represented by serial determination of troponin I (cTnI) cardioprective results represented by serial determination of troponin I (cTnI) (time frame: up to 3 days after the surgery). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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?
