About this study

Official title: An Investigation of the Association Between Desflurane Inhalational Agent, Serum Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) Levels and Clinical Outcomes During Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgery

During coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operations with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), the use of desflurane continuously or intermittently may have effects on serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. The aim is to investigate the association between desflurane, serum BNP values, and clinical outcomes during CABG operations. In a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study, desflurane inhalational anesthesia was administered either continuously or intermittently (Group 1; n=60 versus Group 2; n=62). The preoperative and postoperative BNP levels at 24, 48 and 72 hours after surgery were collected. Outcomes were recorded.

Read the detailed description

Background: During coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operations with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), the use of desflurane continuously or intermittently may have effects on serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels.

Aim of the study: The aim is to investigate the association between desflurane, serum BNP values, and clinical outcomes during CABG operations.

Material and methods: In a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study, desflurane inhalational anesthesia was administered either continuously or intermittently (Group 1; n=60 versus Group 2; n=62). The preoperative and postoperative BNP levels at 24, 48 and 72 hours after surgery were collected. Outcomes were recorded. Randomization into two groups was performed using sealed envelopes. The sequentially numbered assignments of participants were concealed in these envelopes during the study. The patients enrolled in the study receive an allocation to a group after anesthesia induction by health care personnel after the opening of the envelope. The observers were blinded to the anesthetic protocol. Caregivers were not blinded, but they did not participate in data collection or data interpretation. Therefore, the study protocol is considered double-blinded, masked to observers. Inclusion criteria include; 18 to 75 years of age, body mass index of 25 to 31, ejection fraction≥50%. Exclusion criteria include; repeat cardiac surgery, emergent surgery, preoperative coagulation disorder, preoperative congestive heart failure, ejection fraction <49%, preoperative renal dysfunction (serum creatinine>1.3 mg/dL), dialysis, preoperative hepatic dysfunction (serum aspartate/alanine amino transferase>40 U/L), preoperative electrolyte imbalance, history of pancreatitis or current corticosteroid treatment.The primary endpoint was to determine preoperative and postoperative BNP values 24, 48 and 72 hours after surgery. The secondary endpoint was the relation between BNP values and clinical outcomes such as; 1-Aortic cross-clamp time, 2-Cardiopulmonary bypass time, 3-The use of inotropic support, 4-Intra-aortic balloon pump, 5-Duration of mechanical ventilation (>48 hours), 6-Development of pneumonia, 7-Perioperative myocardial infarction, 8-Cerebrovascular event (stroke or transient ischemic attack), seizure, 9-Atrial fibrillation and other rhythm disturbances, 10-Need for renal replacement therapy (RRT), 11-Reoperation secondary to bleeding, 12-Intensive care unit stay (>3 days), 13-Hospital stay and, 14-Thirty-day mortality.

Statistical analysis. The sample size was calculated according to the comparison of serum BNP values in a previous study and a sample size of 58 patients per group would be required with 80% power and the conventional 2-sided type 1 error of 5%. A multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the predictive factors for weaning failure from mechanical ventilation, and the significance level was set at a p-value of less than 0.10 in the univariate model. To determine the best cut-off for preoperative BNP value to predict the development of prolonged mechanical ventilation, we calculated the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Desflurane ContinuousActive comparatorIn Group 1 of 60 patients, desflurane inhalational agent was administered continuously during coronary artery bypass graft surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Anesthesia induction was administered to all patients with intravenous midazolam at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg, fentanyl at a dose of 5 to 10 µg/kg and rocuronium bromide at a dose of 0.1 mg. For maintenance, in Group 1 patients, desflurane inhalational agent was administered at an end-tidal concentration of 1 to 4% during the whole surgical procedure and intravenous maintenance midazolam at a dose of 0.03 mg/kg and fentanyl at a dose of 1 to 2 µg/kg every half an hour. In Group 1 of patients, during the whole surgical procedure, attention to keep mean arterial pressure above 50 mmHg was provided.
Receives: Drug: Desflurane Inhalational agent
Desflurane IntermittentActive comparatorIn Group 2 of 60 patients, desflurane inhalational agent was administered intermittently during coronary artery bypass graft surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Anesthesia induction was administered to all patients with intravenous midazolam at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg, fentanyl at a dose of 5 to 10 µg/kg and rocuronium bromide at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg. For maintenance, in Group 2 patients, desflurane inhalational agent was administered at an end-tidal concentration of 1 to 4% before and after the cardiopulmonary bypass procedure as intermittently with the addition of intravenous maintenance midazolam at a dose of 0.03 mg/kg and fentanyl at a dose of 1 to 2 µg/kg every half an hour. In Group 2 of patients, during the whole surgical procedure, attention to keep mean arterial pressure above 50 mmHg was provided.

A study testing Desflurane Inhalational agent in people with Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery, run by Kartal Kosuyolu Yuksek Ihtisas Education and Research Hospital.

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 3 inclusion and 11 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 23 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Serum BNP values before the cardiac surgery (time frame: One day before cardiac surgery.). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04238806, which also lists 11 linked publications.

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 23 Jan 2020.
