Brief Summary

Prolonged periods of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) cause high levels of plasma free haemoglobin(Hb) and are associated with increased morbidity. We hypothesized that repletion of nitric oxide (NO) during and after the surgical procedure on CPB may protect against endothelium dysfunction and organ failure caused by plasma-Hb induced NO scavenging.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • acute kidney injury

    acute kidney injury was defined by the KDIGO criteria

    an increase of serum creatinine by 50% within 7 days after surgery, or an increase of serum creatinine by 0.3 mg/dl within 2 days after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Chronic kidney disease

    at 30 days, 90 days, and 1 year following ICU admission

  • Loss of 25% of eGFR compared to baseline

    at 30 days, 90 days, and 1 year following ICU admission

  • Major adverse kidney events (MAKE)

    at 30 days, 90 days, and 1 year following ICU admission

  • Renal Replacement Therapy

    at 30 days, 90 days, and 1 year following ICU admission

  • Incidence of nonfatal stroke and nonfatal myocardial infarction.

    at 30 days, 90 days, and 1 year following ICU admission

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (3)

  • In-hospital stay

    Normally within 30 days, when patients was discharged from ICU

  • ICU-stay

    Normally within 30 days, when patients was discharged from ICU

  • Incidence of prolonged ventilation

    During hospital stay, normally within 30 days

Study Arms (2)

inhaled nitrogen

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Using an Inovent (Ikaria Inc, N.J., USA) or volumetrically-calibrated flowmeters, pure nitrogen (placebo) is mixed with pure O2 or air. During CPB the gas mixture is delivered through the extracorporeal oxygenator, after CPB the NO is delivered through the inspiratory limb of the anesthetic or ventilator circuit.

Other: inhaled Nitrogen

inhaled nitric oxide

EXPERIMENTAL

Using an Inovent (Ikaria Inc, N.J., USA) or volumetrically-calibrated flowmeters, 800 ppm NO gas is mixed with pure O2 or air to obtain a final concentration of 80 ppm NO. During CPB the gas mixture is delivered through the extracorporeal oxygenator, after CPB the gas is delivered through the inspiratory limb of the anesthetic or ventilator circuit. NO, NO2 and O2 and methemoglobin levels are monitored by an unblinded observer.

Other: inhaled nitric oxide

Interventions

Nitric oxide administration will commence at the onset of CPB and last for 24 hours. At the end of 24 hours, inhaled NO will be weaned and discontinued while carefully monitoring hemodynamics for a period of 2-4 hours.

inhaled nitric oxide

Standard gas including nitrogen (the vehicle of the Nitric oxide) administration will commence at the onset of CPB and last for 24 hours. At the end of 24 hours, inhaled gases will be weaned and discontinued while carefully monitoring hemodynamics for a period of 2-4 hours.
