Trial summary

This study involves research using human subjects (cardiac surgical patients) to evaluate the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on cardioprotective outcomes. RIPC applied to upper or lower extremities has been shown cardioprotective role by lowering release of cardiac troponin in patients with cardiac… Read more about this study

About this study

This study involves research using human subjects (cardiac surgical patients) to evaluate the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on cardioprotective outcomes. RIPC applied to upper or lower extremities has been shown cardioprotective role by lowering release of cardiac troponin in patients with cardiac diseases. However, it is not clear whether anesthetics, such as propofol or sevoflurane, may impair the cardioprotective effect of RIPC in cardiac surgical patients. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to compare the effects of anesthetics on cardioprotection of RIPC in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Read the detailed description

Patients undergoing cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass will be randomized to control, propofol, or sevoflurane group. Patients in the control group will receive remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on their upper arms before anesthetic induction. Patients in the propofol or sevoflurane groups will receive RIPC after anesthetic induction using propofol or sevoflurane, respectively. In all patients, arterial blood samples will be obtained before and after each RIPC. From the samples, human dialysate will be obtained and perfused to rat heart through Langendorff apparatus before ischemia-reperfusion injury to the rat heart. Infarct size of the sectioned rat heart will be compared among the three - control, propofol, and sevoflurane - groups.

What participants receive

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

  • ControlOther

    Also called Not receiving any anesthetic

    Patients in the control groups do not receive any anesthetic during remote ischemic preconditioning.

  • PropofolDrug

    Also called Receiving propofol anesthesia

    Patients in the propofol group receive propofol anesthesia during remote ischemic preconditioning.

  • SevofluraneDrug

    Also called Receiving sevoflurane anesthesia

    Patients in the sevoflurane group receive sevoflurane anesthesia during remote ischemic preconditioning.

  1. Infarct size of the rat heart

    Measured: 1 day after ischemia-reperfusion injury

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Cardiac troponin I after surgery

    Measured: 72 hours postoperatively

  2. Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events

    Measured: Through study completion, average of 2 weeks before hospital discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Propofol and Sevoflurane in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 14 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 20 Feb 2018. 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 South Korea. 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?

Infarct size of the rat heart (time frame: 1 day after ischemia-reperfusion injury). 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 20 Feb 2018.
