Brief Summary

Inhaled nitric oxide is a widely accepted standard of care for pulmonary hypertension, and has been studied in the context of cardiac surgery. CPB during cardiac surgery induces systemic inflammatory response and ischemic-reperfusion injury of many organs. Nitric oxide added to the bypass circuit may have anti-inflammatory effect and has shown the potential to ameliorate organs' injury . There is evidence that the delivery of nitric oxide to the oxygenator gas flow during pediatric CPB is accompanied by a reduction in myocardial injury markers' levels in the postoperative period. In adults, NO supply to the CPB circuit during CABG exerted a cardioprotective effect and was associated with a lower level of inotropic support and cardio-specific blood markers . To our knowledge, this is the first trial to assess whether artificial nitric oxide supplementation to the CPB-system reduces the incidence of hypoxemia after cardiac surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of postoperative hypoxemia

    Within 24 hours postoperatively

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Incidence of Low cardiac output syndrome

    Within 72 postoperatively

  • Use of drugs for hemodynamic support such as phenylephrine, noradrenaline

    Within 72 postoperatively

  • Incidence of Acute Kidney Injury

    Within 72 postoperatively

Study Arms (2)

Study Arm: The balloon will be opened to deliver nitric oxide at 40 ppm.

EXPERIMENTAL

Nitric oxide balloon will be connected to the CPB machine. Participants randomized to this group will receive 40 ppm nitric oxide through the pump.

Drug: Nitric Oxide

Control Arm: The balloon will be closed and no nitric oxide will be delivered.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants in this group will receive standard of care treatment. Participation in the trial will not affect surgery management in any way.

Other: standard of care treatment

Interventions

The balloon will be opened to deliver nitric oxide at 40 ppm through the cardiopulmonary bypass machine

Study Arm: The balloon will be opened to deliver nitric oxide at 40 ppm.

standard of care treatment

Control Arm: The balloon will be closed and no nitric oxide will be delivered.
