About this study

Using the 9 centers (Appendix B) involved with the planned multicenter NIRS comparative effectiveness trial the specific aims of this study are:

  1. To demonstrate the feasibility of collecting rScO2 data from patients undergoing cardiac surgery in a multicenter study design.
  2. To demonstrate the feasibility of using a standard algorithm for treating rScO2 desaturations during cardiac surgery in a multicenter study design.
Read the detailed description

Brain injury after cardiac surgery is a chief source of patient mortality and healthcare costs and can significantly impair quality of life. Reducing the burden of this complication has wide public health implications. The broad manifestations of perioperative brain injury include stroke, delirium, and cognitive decline.5 All forms of injury are believed to result primarily from cerebral embolism and/or reduced cerebral blood flow (CBF). The risk for cerebral hypoperfusion is likely the highest during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), when mean arterial pressure (MAP) is kept low (~60 mmHg), particularly for patients who are aged and who have cerebral vascular disease. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is used increasingly to monitor regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, although limited data show that it improves patient outcomes. Regardless, clinical evidence supporting the efficacy of NIRS-based monitoring is needed urgently because the cost of NIRS sensors (~$220/patient) could add $132 million annually to hospital costs for cardiac surgery. We must address this issue quickly because the rising prevalence of NIRS use and advocacy by experts and industry will likely soon result in NIRS becoming a standard of care. We are in the process of submitting a multicenter, prospectively randomized comparative effectiveness trial to assess the efficacy of NIRS monitoring in patients who are undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with CPB, and/or valve surgery, and who are at risk for brain injury. The goal of the planned proposal is to determine whether interventions to correct rScO2 desaturations (value <50% or 20% reduction from room air baseline) reduce the frequency of neurologic and other complications compared with standard care (no clinical monitoring). In order to demonstrate feasibility of our proposal we need to demonstrate the ability of the team to collect rScO2 data from multiple centers and to show the ability of the team to properly follow an algorithm for treating rScO2 desaturations that occur during surgery. Thus, the aim of the current study is to collect preliminary data to support our larger comparative effectiveness trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Disease, run by Johns Hopkins University 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 0 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 22 Aug 2017. 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. 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?

rScO2 desaturation data collection (time frame: During 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 NCT01765504, 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 22 Aug 2017.
