Brief Summary

Acute kidney injury following cardiac surgery for congenital heart defects in children is a major cause of both short- and long-term morbidity and mortality, affecting up to 60% of high risk patients. Despite effort, to date, no successful therapeutic agent has gained widespread success in preventing this postoperative decline in renal function. Based on preliminary data available in the literature, we hypothesize that nitric oxide (gNO), administered during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), may reduce the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) via mechanisms of reduced inflammation and vasodilation. In this pilot study, 40 neonates undergoing cardiac surgery will be randomized to receive intraoperative administration of 20 ppm of nitric oxide to the oxygenator of the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit or standard CPB with no additional gas.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Acute Kidney Injury

    Occurrence of acute kidney defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) diagnostic classification (employing both serum creatinine and urine output criteria).

    up to 72 hours postoperative

  • Glomerular Filtration Rate

    Postoperative glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measured using serum cystatin C.

    up to 72 hours postoperative

Secondary Outcomes (13)

  • Structural Kidney Injury

    up to 72 hours postoperative

  • Low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS)

    up to 48 hours postoperative

  • Duration of mechanical ventilation

    up to 2 weeks from admission to CICU to extubation

  • Length of cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) stay

    up to 2 weeksfrom admission to CICU to discharge from CICU

  • Length of hospital stay

    up to 30 days from hospital admission to discharge

  • +8 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

gNO Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in the treatment group will receive gNO added to the oxygenator gas flow at 20 ppm throughout the duration of cardiopulmonary bypass.

Drug: gases Nitric Oxide (gNO)

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Participants in the control group will receive standard conduction of cardiopulmonary bypass.

Interventions

Participants in the intervention group will receive gNO blended into the fresh gas flow of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) oxygenator and maintained at 20 ppm via an Ikaria INO Max DSIR (Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, St. Louis, Missouri, USA), with continuous sampling of NO and NO2 concentration from a port adjacent to the oxygenator. The gNO delivery will be initiated when the patient is on CPB and stopped once the patient comes off CPB.
