About this study

Official title: Effect of Intraoperative Oxygen Tension on Patient Outcomes After Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (the CARROT Trial)

Conventionally, a relatively high level of fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) has been used for secure a margin of safety in patients undergoing cardiac surgery including off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). Since the potential adverse effects of hyperoxemia (via reactive oxygen species, vasocontriction, perfusion heterogeneity, myocardiac injury, etc.), various studies on this topic has been performed. However, the results are conflicting and inconsistent, and the consensus about whether the use of additional oxygen supply in cardiac surgery has not been reached among practitioners yet. This study is a multicenter study (Seoul National University, Asan Medical Center, Severance Hospital) where the effect of different level of FiO2 on postoperative clinical outcomes is evaluated.

Read the detailed description

A sub-study will also be conducted in part of patients of the present study. In 40 out of 500 (expected) patients, two different levels of FiO2 will be sequentially set with a 5-minute interval after the induction of general anesthesia. Mixed venous and regional cerebral oxygen saturation will then be recorded according to the change of FiO2.

What participants receive

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

  • Fraction of inspired oxygen levelOther

    A fraction of inspired oxygen level during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting will be set differently between the study groups: 0.3 vs 0.8.

What is being measured

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

  1. hospital LOS

    length of hospital stay after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting

    Measured: From the beginning of surgery until the hospital discharge after surgery through study completion, an expected average of two weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fraction of inspired oxygen level in people with Coronary Artery Disease, 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 6 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 2022. 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. 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?

hospital LOS (time frame: From the beginning of surgery until the hospital discharge after surgery through study completion, an expected average of two weeks). 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 NCT03945565, 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 9 Feb 2022.
