Brief Summary

Postoperative atrial fibrillation is a common complication after cardiac surgery and is associated with an elevation of morbidity and mortality. The recommended treatment includes heart rate control with a beta blocker. Landiolol is a new-generation beta-blocker with favourable pharmacologic properties making an interesting drug to treat postoperative atrial fibrillation. However, Landiolol micro and macrocirculatory effects in the setting of atrial fibrillation are yet to describe. The aim of this study is to describe microcirculatory effects of incremental doses of landiolol in postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to a placebo. Our hypothesis is Landiolol will improve microcirculation disorders.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Tissular resaturation speed measured by somatic near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)

    Tissular resaturation speed is measured after vascular occlusion test. At each time end-point, an occlusion of the arm blood flow with a tourniquet is made. After the nadir of the tissular saturation of the arm is reached the tourniquet is released and the resaturation speed is measured using the NIRS.

    at 20 minutes

  • Tissular resaturation speed measured by somatic near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)

    Tissular resaturation speed is measured after vascular occlusion test. At each time end-point, an occlusion of the arm blood flow with a tourniquet is made. After the nadir of the tissular saturation of the arm is reached the tourniquet is released and the resaturation speed is measured using the NIRS.

    at 40 minutes

  • Tissular resaturation speed measured by somatic near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)

    Tissular resaturation speed is measured after vascular occlusion test. At each time end-point, an occlusion of the arm blood flow with a tourniquet is made. After the nadir of the tissular saturation of the arm is reached the tourniquet is released and the resaturation speed is measured using the NIRS.

    at 60 minutes

  • Tissular resaturation speed measured by somatic near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)

    Tissular resaturation speed is measured after vascular occlusion test. At each time end-point, an occlusion of the arm blood flow with a tourniquet is made. After the nadir of the tissular saturation of the arm is reached the tourniquet is released and the resaturation speed is measured using the NIRS.

    at 80 minutes

  • Tissular resaturation speed measured by somatic near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)

    Tissular resaturation speed is measured after vascular occlusion test. At each time end-point, an occlusion of the arm blood flow with a tourniquet is made. After the nadir of the tissular saturation of the arm is reached the tourniquet is released and the resaturation speed is measured using the NIRS.

    at 100 minutes

  • Tissular resaturation speed measured by somatic near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)

    Tissular resaturation speed is measured after vascular occlusion test. At each time end-point, an occlusion of the arm blood flow with a tourniquet is made. After the nadir of the tissular saturation of the arm is reached the tourniquet is released and the resaturation speed is measured using the NIRS.
