Brief Summary

Acute renal injury (AKI) is a common complication after cardiac surgery and is associated with worse outcomes. It is now realized that intraoperative hypotension is an important risk factor for the development of AKI. In a recent randomized controlled trial of patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery, intraoperative individualized blood-pressure management reduced the incidence of postoperative organ dysfunction. The investigators hypothesize that, for patients undergoing off-pump CABG, targeted blood-pressure management during surgery may also reduce the incidence of postoperative AKI.

Study Arms (2)

Targeted blood-pressure management

EXPERIMENTAL

Prophylactic norepinephrine infusion is started at the beginning of anesthetic induction and maintained throughout surgery. The target is to maintain systolic blood pressure at 110 mmHg or higher during surgery.

Drug: Targeted blood-pressure management

Routine blood-pressure management

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Phenylephrine (25-50 ug) is injected or vasopressors is infused only when necessary. The target is to maintain systolic blood pressure at 90 mmHg or higher during surgery.

Drug: Routine blood-pressure management

Interventions

Prophylactic norepinephrine infusion is started before anesthetic induction and maintained throughout surgery. The target is to maintain systolic blood pressure at 110 mmHg or higher.

Also known as: Norepinephrine
Targeted blood-pressure management

Phenylephrine (25-50 ug) is injected or vasopressors is infused only when necessary. The target is to maintain systolic blood pressure at 90 mmHg or higher during surgery.

Also known as: Phenylephrine and other vasopressors
Routine blood-pressure management

Eligibility Criteria
