About this study

Official title: Continuous Monitoring of Lactate in High-risk Cardiac Surgery

The major combined interventions are between challenging and high-risk aspects of current cardiosurgical practice. The results of operation may be hampered by unexpected anatomic and technical features influencing the surgical approach as well as cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), anesthesia, and respiratory support.

Plasma lactate concentration is a routine clinical indicator of the tissue oxygen shortage, and is routinely monitored in virtually all in-risk surgical and ICU patients. However, the discrete measurement of these values among with other biochemical values has a major drawback and continuous measurement can be beneficial.

The aim of our study is to assess the clinical usefulness and rationale for routine use of continuous monitoring of lactate in high-risk combined/complex cardiac surgery.

Read the detailed description

The combination of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), repair of valve pathology and/or valve replacement remains a challenging and high-risk aspect of current cardiosurgical practice. Direct and indirect results of surgery are affected by the variety of factors including patient's age, general condition, preoperative severity of heart dysfunction and remodeling, etc. In addition, the results of operation may be hampered by unexpected anatomic and technical features influencing the surgical approach as well as duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and aortic cross clamping, anesthesia, intensive care and respiratory support.

The combined and complex cardiac surgery requires CPB, which, in parallel with increased duration of intervention, induces systemic inflammatory response and ischemia-reperfusion injury. These pathophysiological mechanisms include activation of cytokines, complement, neutrophils, monocytes, endothelium and platelets. Neutrophil sequestration in the vital organs in response to chemotaxis and release of reactive oxygen species and inflammatory mediators may result in tissue hypoperfusion and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, contributing to development of postoperative complications and adverse outcomes.

To alleviate CPB-induced systemic inflammatory response and organ-specific injury, different interventions exist, including meticulous hemodynamic and metabolic monitoring followed by goal-directed therapy. Several recent studies from our group and other authors have clearly demonstrated the beneficial effects of such an approach in cardiac surgery. In these settings, when the extraction of O2 on cellular level may be severely disturbed, the complex analysis of changes in tissue perfusion and oxygenation before adjusting the therapy may be useful.

Current technique of continuous monitoring of lactate using Eirus system has a potential to broaden our knowledge in this clinical scenario and reinforce a decision-making in high-risk cardiac surgery. Hence, continuous measurement of lactate may be a valuable adjunct to routine hemodynamic parameters and blood gases, facilitating changes in fluid therapy and inotrope/vasopressor support for the achievement an adequate balance between oxygen demand and delivery. Combination of continuously measured lactate with monitoring of cardiac output, mixed and central venous saturation and Pv-aCO2 seems to be an attractive approach to "global view" on the systemic oxygen transport at the bedside. Recently, the continuous monitoring of lactate has been validated in a pilot clinical study in cardiosurgical patients mostly with isolated CABG and aortic valve replacement with relatively short-term CPB, however its' role in combined cardiac surgery with prolonged CPB, representing the important setting for lactate-guided therapy, remains unsettled.

Thus, the aim of our study is to assess the use of continuous monitoring of lactate in high-risk combined/complex cardiac surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • Eirus continuous lactate monitorDevice

    Also called Eirus (Maquet)

    a triple-lumen central venous catheter (Eirus TLC) functioning as a regular central venous catheter (CVC) with an integrated microdialysis function will be inserted via the left jugular vein for continuous monitoring of lactate and glucose using Eirus intravascular microdialysis system (Maquet Critical Care, Solna, Sweden) after calibration with arterial sample. Eirus TLC will be used for both drug administration and blood sampling and will be removed postoperatively when a central line will no longer be necessary.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Eirus continuous lactate monitor in people with Continuous Lactate Measurements and Cardiosurgery, run by Northern State Medical University at 1 site in Russia.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 24 Mar 2016. 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 Russia. 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?

Hyperlactatemia (time frame: 0-24 hrs). 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 24 Mar 2016.
